After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 331 The Little Worker
"Just go in like that? But what if there are a lot of people inside? Wouldn't that be like running right into someone..."

"What are you afraid of? Let's move quietly and retreat if things get ugly. Besides, think about it, this is a barren mountain. Why would anyone abandon all the good stuff outside and choose to blast rocks here?"

Zhu Gengtian's words made Chen Xiu's eyes light up!
Yes!

The reason they made a last-minute detour here was because they ran into disciples of a sect.

Upon discovering the desolate nature of the mountain area, they already wanted to leave.

But why do the people here stay here and waste time and energy blasting the mountain?
That must be because there are good things in the mountains!
Is there some kind of spiritual creature or herb in this mountain, or perhaps some precious young monster?

Regardless of the situation, they can go and join in the fun. If they have the chance, they can give it a shot; if not, they can simply leave.

After the two made their agreement, they had no intention of backing down. They quietly observed for a while to make sure no one was coming or going, and then tiptoed into the cave.

Upon entering, the two frowned—

Isn't this hole a bit too small?

The two grown men had to bend over the whole way to get in, and even that felt a bit cramped. Plus, only one person could pass at a time, so they couldn't walk side by side.

This guy is really something. Why did he blast such a small hole? Why didn't he just blast it bigger?
Could he be a shorty?
They silently complained to themselves, but at the same time, they were also secretly pleased.

The entrance to the cave is so small, probably to save time and effort, but it also proves that the other side doesn't have many people.

Moreover, even though they were both quite thin, they still had some difficulty passing through the cave. Perhaps the one who blew up the cave was a female cultivator, or an even thinner male cultivator.

This seems to increase their chances of success.

The two tried their best not to make any noise and walked with difficulty in the direction of the cave, encountering many broken stones along the way.

They were still wondering how this person had managed to do it, why such a deep cave had been blasted open but there was no sign of it collapsing.
As the two were walking, Chen Xiu, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and picked something up from the ground.

The entrance to the cave was small and narrow. He walked in front, while Zhu Gengtian behind him was completely blocked and could see almost nothing.

Just as she was wondering why he wasn't leaving, she saw Zhu Gengtian turn around and hand her something with trembling hands.

Chen Xiu was stunned. Just as he was wondering what it was, he suddenly saw that thing. When he realized what it was, he almost jumped up!
Crystal!

This is actually a low-grade crystal!
Chen Xiu turned his head in astonishment and looked around the stone wall.

This place has been cleaned up very well. There are no crystal remnants on the stone wall, but it is not difficult to tell from the crystal fragment on the ground that it grew on this stone wall!
In other words... this is a crystal mine!

However, this should only be an entrance, which is on the outer edge, so there are relatively few crystals and mostly ordinary rocks.

If we go further into this cave, wouldn't that mean...?

The two exchanged a glance in the darkness, both noticing the burning intensity in each other's eyes—

It's about to be released!
This is only the relatively sparse outer area, yet we can already find low-grade crystals of decent quality. What about the core area? Could there be mid-grade, or even high-grade crystals?

But soon, that passion turned into murderous intent.

No matter how many people discover this is a crystal mine, and no matter what their cultivation level is, we must kill them all and take the crystal mine back!
The thought that the two of them would be able to obtain all the crystals in this crystal mine, become rich and powerful, and reach the pinnacle of the cultivation world filled them with excitement and their eyes shone with intense anticipation!

But this expectation turned into shock and bewilderment when they walked a little further, turned a corner, and suddenly saw a young girl.

Mo Jiuwei threw talismans, blasted stone walls, and collected crystals along the way, her movements unhurried and showing no signs of fatigue. But when the two arrived, she was sitting on the ground eating dried meat.

It wasn't that we were tired or hungry, but rather that if we dug any further ahead, we would reach the core area, where there were an incredible amount of crystals. Even using talismans to blast them would take a long time, making it a very demanding task.

Since it's a big job, someone has to do it, right? Perfect, she can take a break and enjoy the ready-made meal.

"Little girl?"

Zhu Gengtian felt that what he was seeing was utterly absurd.

Such a deep cave, such a dimly lit environment, yet a little girl with a delicate and pretty face is sitting there—it's simply eerie!

How come there are children in this hidden place? Are they the original inhabitants, or were they brought here by someone else?

But neither of these possibilities seems plausible, because the former is impossible, and as for the latter, the minimum cultivation level required to enter the secret realm is clearly Qi Refining, so this little girl...

The two of them would never believe that she was a Qi Refining stage cultivator!
Besides these, the most likely explanation seems to be—

"Be careful, it's an illusion!"

Zhu Gengtian's expression hardened as he realized the only possibility. He reached out to stop Chen Xiu behind him and warned him.

The area here was relatively spacious, and Chen Xiu could see the situation through the gaps. He was also quite bewildered at this moment.

But after hearing Zhu Gengtian's reminder, he suddenly realized what was going on.

No wonder it was so strange; it turns out someone had set up an illusion array. That makes sense now.

"Don't look at her, lest you fall into her trap. Let's find a way to break the formation first." Zhu Gengtian's eyes were excited. "Once this formation is broken, we'll most likely reach the core area of ​​the crystal mine."

The core area equals getting rich, equals endless crystals, equals living off your savings for the rest of your life.

This is truly the greatest temptation of a life for a poor and destitute rogue cultivator!

Mo Jiuwei: ……

She chuckled. "I'm not an illusion. Why don't you take a closer look?"

These two are really funny; they actually thought of that kind of thing, which really amused her.

Upon hearing the sound, the two deliberately ignored it, fearing they might fall victim to it.

But as they searched around, they gradually grew cold in their hearts.

There is no trace of any formation here!
"You, you're a real person? Who are you, and why were you able to enter the secret realm?" Chen Xiu swallowed hard, feeling inexplicably terrified.

If it were a burly man or a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage, he wouldn't be so panicked.

It's so strange that a little girl who is only a little over a year old and seems unsteady on her feet is so beautiful and adorable!

"I am your master."

Mo Jiuwei smiled, revealing her upper row of white teeth, "I've been waiting for you two for a long time, my little helper."
