Chapter 2640: Chapter 2641: Supreme-Grade Lode
After a long while, the Sect Leader finally rose slowly and came before Ye Luo, bowing respectfully.
The more time he spent around him, the more he could sense the terrifying power of Ye Luo.
Moreover, he realized that this was not the influence of any formidable figure; this was the actual strength of Ye Luo!
At such an age, to have already reached the Martial King Realm, who else in this third faction could compare to him!
Such talent and fortune, perhaps only those unparalleled geniuses from the few great Demon King’s halls could contend against him!
If that’s the case, the local sects wanting to compete with him would be courting death! Moreover, with a figure like him backing the Infinity Sect, it would be hard for them not to rise; this was indeed the opportunity for the Infinity Sect! Thinking of this, he was quietly glad that he did not choose to act against Ye Luo back then, realizing how correct that decision had been.
"Thank you, Young Master. If it wasn’t for me intentionally suppressing my realm to refine it further, I would have already broken through to the third stage of the Heavenly Martial Realm. The Young Master’s methods are indeed divine!"
His voice was loud, and the disciples below heard it clearly. Immediately, dozens of Infinity Sect disciples looked up in shock at the two figures in the sky.
To them, the Heavenly Martial Realm was already unreachable, yet this master effortlessly enhanced one’s cultivation at the Heavenly Martial Realm. To what terrifying extent then had his power reached!
"I said before, the Infinity Sect will benefit from this, and next, it will be you!"
After speaking, he pointed at Xiao Wu!
Upon seeing this, Xiao Wu’s face immediately filled with joy. In the next moment, following the Sect Leader’s example, he sat cross-legged and began refining his Origin Source.
His realm rapidly increased like bamboo shoots after a rain, only halting at the ninth level of the Earth Martial Realm.
To Ye Luo, Earth Martial Realm cultivation was nothing; if he wished, he could forcibly raise Xiao Wu’s realm to the Heavenly Martial Realm, but he merely wanted to win hearts and didn’t want to expend so much of his Origin Source.
Even so, Xiao Wu was elated; his own aptitude wasn’t impressive, yet reaching the ninth level of the Earth Martial Realm made the hope of the Heavenly Martial Realm visible, something he had never dared to dream of before.
After refining, he respectfully knelt to the ground, utterly convinced by Ye Luo.
However, Ye Luo ignored him, turning his gaze to the other disciples instead.
"Naturally, you all will benefit too. From now on, half of the crystals mined will be yours to distribute, and the other half will belong to the Infinity Sect. I’m only taking what I need from it!"
Ye Luo’s words were directed at both the disciples and the Sect Leader.
Ye Luo wasn’t interested in these crystals at all, but for the Infinity Sect, it was a great fortune!
Moreover, these dozens of disciples were the core of the Infinity Sect, and these crystals were naturally meant to cultivate them.
"Thank you, Master!"
The disciples all knelt in unison, kowtowing to Ye Luo.
Subsequently, the pace of the cave excavation increased significantly. Before, they had only been trying to comply with orders, but now, since half of these crystals were to be theirs, they were akin to their own crystals, prompting them to work tirelessly.
Ye Luo, meanwhile, stood still in the air; although he appeared casual and at ease during the previous chaos, it was, in fact, extremely perilous.
Should he employ his Martial King Realm strength, he would immediately face the erosion of those two forces. If he were careless and revealed his true ability, he might die on the spot.
Therefore, he consistently opted for quick and decisive actions, presenting an overwhelmingly strong image to compensate for his own deficiencies.
Of course, none of those people could have perceivable Ye Luo’s secret, given Ye Luo’s solid cultivation at the Martial King Realm.
"Master, there’s a change in the crystal mine below!"
A disciple excitedly came before Ye Luo, exclaiming in surprise.
"Oh?" Ye Luo opened his eyes, a look of joy appearing on his face. "Take me to have a look!"
At this moment, the dozens of disciples had already stopped excavating. A few of them were gathered around a small cave, with the Sect Leader and others peering inside. However, it was pitch black within, making it impossible to see anything.
"Is this the cave?" Ye Luo frowned and asked. The cave seemed nothing special, likely a naturally formed cavity.
"Young Master, you might not know! This cave is not ordinary; it is an excellent crystal mine vein. In the nearby mines, there is utterly no vein like this. It’s truly fortunate; I never imagined I would witness such a marvel in my lifetime!" the Sect Leader exclaimed in amazement.
Excellent vein? Ye Luo squatted down and picked up a crystal from the ground. This crystal was somewhat different from those in the Space-Time Channel, containing a mix of Spiritual Energy and Demonic Qi! Of course, there was only a trace of Demonic Qi, with Spiritual Energy being dominant.
However, these crystals were not much stronger than those from other mines!
Seemingly sensing Ye Luo’s puzzlement, the Sect Leader laughed directly, "Young Master, the quality of crystals produced from this excellent vein improves as time progresses. Furthermore, this excellent vein is where the Spirit of Crystal Stone is nurtured!"
The Spirit of Crystal Stone? Ye Luo’s eyes suddenly brightened, as this matched his previous speculation.
"Young Master, this excellent vein is extraordinary, highly beneficial to your cultivation. For us at the Infinity Sect, having such a vein would be a complete waste. We are willing to offer it to you," the Sect Leader said solemnly.
Ye Luo glanced at him, recognizing the sincerity in his words. It appeared that while the Sect Leader was experienced and shrewd, he still had a conscience. After all, the vast enhancement Ye Luo had given him was far more valuable than this excellent vein.
Nevertheless, Ye Luo was uninterested in the so-called excellent vein, as he couldn’t stay in this place for long. He had no time to wait for the high-grade crystals to emerge later. Besides, his numerous treasures were each more valuable than these crystals, rendering them utterly worthless to him!
What he truly needed was just the Spirit of Crystal Stone. If the Sect Leader’s words were true, this might be the very lair of the Spirit of Crystal Stone!
"There’s no need for that. I’ve said before that my words will naturally be fulfilled. I am only taking what I need from the vein, and as for the crystals, I won’t take an extra piece!" Ye Luo said calmly.
Upon hearing this, the surrounding Infinity Sect disciples looked at him in astonishment.
It was their first time witnessing someone uninterested in crystals. Even in the face of other nobility, they wouldn’t be able to lift a foot in the presence of so many.
