Chapter 358 Breaking Through the Gate
"Lingxin, something terrible has happened!"

The caller was Fatty Orange, whom I hadn't seen in a long time. His voice sounded somewhat alarmed.

"The Spirit Ore has appeared! You immediately take your Special Operations Division personnel to Tonggu Bay to keep an eye on it!"

"Okay, but shouldn't we have prepared for this already? Why do you seem so nervous, Director Dai? Also, why are you the one making the call? Aren't you supposed to be guarding the fishpond?"

Xie Lingxin naturally wouldn't shirk his responsibilities, but he still had some questions.

"What do you mean by guarding the fishpond?"

Fatty Orange paused for a moment. Although he didn't understand the reference, he still guessed what it meant.

"Why bring up something you shouldn't have said! Isn't it because you've become too arrogant? Even the dignified director of the New District Bureau is afraid of not being able to order you around, which is why he sent me to find you. You're so powerful, aren't you!"

Hearing this sarcastic remark, Xie Lingxin shamelessly chimed in, "That's right! If I were Director Dai, I would have overturned his table long ago. Why would I be guarding his fishpond?"

"Don't even mention your lousy fishpond!"

Fat Orange was a little embarrassed and angry, but then solemnly said:

"Is this a critical time? Why now of all times? In any case, you need to be careful!"

“There are already checkpoints set up in that area. No one is allowed to approach without the relevant documents.”

"But there's always someone who's oblivious to their own mortality, especially some old guys who, seeing no way out, are clinging to this spiritual ore as a lifeline!"

"If you encounter this type of person, don't be foolish enough to rush in! Protect yourself and let others do the work!"

"..."

Xie Lingxin's face twitched slightly, typical of Fatty Orange.

"Okay, I see."

After hanging up the phone, Xie Lingxin turned around and said, "You heard it too, I don't have time to entertain you. Leizhou is not peaceful lately. If you don't have anything to do, you should go back to Donghai as soon as possible."

Leng Qingci wasn't so clueless as to offer to help; she knew this was beyond her control.

Yingying stood up and said softly, "Okay, I'll go back now. Be careful."

"it is good."

After seeing her off, Xie Lingxin called over several groups of people, including Chen and Qingyun, and then headed towards Tonggu Bay herself.

"Wangcai, let's go!"

"Ow~"

Spirit ore, oh spirit ore...

Not to mention others, he himself is now itching to get a piece of the pie.

He simply couldn't think of any reason to seize it...

Xie Lingxin didn't believe a word of what Xiao Longtu had said about how many shares Chen Yuntao had transferred to him.

Such a huge benefit wouldn't be given away so easily, even by a son-in-law.

Besides, I'm not even his son-in-law!

Why not steal from the boss? Even just a few pieces would be good...

Various thoughts raced through my mind along the way.

Having reached the destination using the balance ball, I still couldn't come up with any constructive ideas.

Xie Lingxin looked at the scene before her; it was rather spectacular...

This area used to be a densely populated area, but it has now been emptied out.

The original location of Leigong Village is also included.

From afar, a colorful curtain of light, like the aurora borealis, stretched across the area, connecting heaven and earth.

It distorted space.

It's like a giant, seven-colored dimensional gate.

A series of colorful whips of light swayed and fluttered.

Tiny specks of light floated in the air.

Spiritual quality!

Xie Lingxin was 100% certain that those specks of light were spiritual matter!

Is it that exaggerated?

More than billions of glories.

He never imagined that the valuable spiritual essence would look so worthless now!

Checkpoints were set up at several entrances and exits.

Many people were also patrolling back and forth in the air in aircraft.

There were also many devices he didn't recognize, forming a tight net that completely sealed off this area.

We arrived at a checkpoint.

Personnel from all departments in the new district have been assigned here to guard the area.

This is just one of the checkpoints under the jurisdiction of the Environmental Protection Bureau.

"Thank you, Vice President!"

Several sanitation workers from the atmospheric department saw him and quickly greeted him.

Xie Lingxin nodded: "How is the situation?"

A sanitation worker said, "There have been quite a few people trying to break through the checkpoint just now, and they've all been apprehended."

"There were also a few unlucky guys who tried to break through the clan management office's checkpoint and were killed on the spot."

Xie Lingxin asked in surprise, "The clan management office is here too?"

The sanitation worker gestured in another direction and said, "It's over there, not far from here."

"Not just the place under the clan management..."

The sanitation worker whispered, "Does Vice Chairman Xie still remember Xiao Yan? He's here too!"

Previously, because of the Iron-Faced Man incident, Xiao Yan went to Leizhou and caused a lot of trouble for the people in various departments there.

Later, he suffered a silent loss at Xie Lingxin's hands and even disappeared for a period of time.

However, most people just assumed that he had suffered a loss at Xie Lingxin's hands and was too ashamed to stay in Leizhou, so he quietly ran away.

Almost all public officials in Leizhou knew about this, and it was even more impossible for someone working within the Environmental Protection Bureau not to know.

"Xiao Yan?"

Xie Lingxin was still a little dazed when she heard the name.

However, he quickly forgot about it.

What is there to say?

That was the closest you ever came to me. Now you don't even have the right to stand in front of me!
It was a bit of an act, but that was the gist of it. After a few words, Liao Chen, Qing Yun, and the others arrived with their respective teams.

They were all somewhat lost in thought as they looked at the scene before them.

Any cultivator who witnesses such a vast quantity of spiritual matter will inevitably be shaken to their core.

"What does this thing mean? What's its principle?"

Xie Lingxin pointed to the seven-colored light screen in the distance, which looked like a dimensional gate.

This is a seasoned sanitation worker; he's seen this stuff many times before, and he knows much more than someone like Xie Lingxin, who's only a dabbler.

He said, "Spirit ore is like this; its essence is actually the energy emitted when a domain collapses and crumbles."

“What you’ve seen, Vice Chairman Xie, is just the materialization of spiritual ore, merely the tip of the iceberg. The real ‘ore’ is in the spiritual world.”

This is something I've never seen before.

Xie Lingxin glanced at the scene from afar and saw many people walking into the light barrier and disappearing: "What are those people doing? How can some of them get in?"

The sanitation worker said, "These spiritual minerals that are currently materializing need to be mined as soon as possible, otherwise, once they are fully materialized, most of the spiritual energy within them will dissipate."

“These are people from the city government and various families and groups; they all have shares.”

Xie Lingxin asked another question: "Are there also people from the Chen family?"

The sanitation worker said, "Of course, the Chen family's shares are second only to the city government and Seven Star Academy."

Chen Yuntao was indeed lying to people.

Xie Lingxin gritted her teeth inwardly.

My spiritual ore...

No, we have to make him pay up. He's using my name, Brother Xie, to make a fuss, and he wants to get something for nothing?

Even if you are Chen Jinxin's father, it won't work!

Xie Lingxin suddenly remembered that when Old Xie's old house in Leigong Village was demolished, he hadn't signed the agreement.

In other words, he also has a share in this land...

"Ugh……"

Xie Lingxin was rolling her eyes when she heard Hongxiao sigh softly.

"Sister Hong, why are you sighing like that?"

Hongxiao came to her senses and realized that her loss of composure was too obvious. "It's not easy to extract these spiritual substances."

"Unless one has achieved a high level of spiritual cultivation, it is difficult to remain unaffected by these overflowing streams of mental turbulence,"

"Deputy Chief, think about it, what would happen to an ordinary person if they were to be corrupted by these mental currents for a long time?"

Xie Ling thought for a moment: "Maybe... I'll go crazy?"

These mental turbulences are the collective will of humanity within the chaotic sea of ​​the mind, filled with countless distracting thoughts and desires.

Even cultivators wouldn't dare say they could definitely withstand it, let alone ordinary people.

"Why not let cultivators mine it?"

The Qingyun team consists of disciples from Nanhe Wudang, many of whom are novices like Xie Lingxin.

Hu Buxiao was a complete novice, and asked curiously upon hearing this.

A sanitation worker laughed and said, "Don't you understand the capitalists' ways? How expensive are cultivators? The cost of using cultivators and ordinary people as miners is worlds apart."

“Even the Federation tacitly approves of it. The Federation has quite a few spiritual mines, and if they all use cultivators, how can they possibly mine them all?”

Upon hearing this, Hu Buxiao muttered, "These capitalists deserve to die."

Qingyun glared at him: "Shut up."

This mouth of hers will get her into trouble sooner or later.

"So, these people are all miners hired by various companies?"

"boom!"

As the group was discussing the spiritual mineral ore in front of the checkpoint, they suddenly heard a loud noise.

Look up.

Not far away, a burst of bright light erupted.

A giant eagle flew in from the sky.

With a wingspan of over ten meters, it exudes a fierce and awe-inspiring presence, and a stench of blood can be smelled from afar.

"Yang Shen Dharma Form?"

There are many kinds of Dharma forms.

Yin spirit, Yang spirit, primordial spirit, and martial will can all manifest as Dharma forms.

Those who can cultivate the Yang God Dharma Image are at least senior fourth-stage spiritual masters.

"Oh no! This is a rogue cultivator trying to break through the checkpoint!"

Liao Chen, Qing Yun, and the others all remained calm.

For ordinary practitioners, a fourth-level spiritual master is already considered a high-level expert, but that is not enough to move them.

They were simply waiting for Xie Lingxin to speak.

Xie Lingxin was too lazy to ask anyone to do anything, so she simply stretched out her palm and slapped the air.

A golden Buddha's hand slowly slammed down.

But it unexpectedly struck the head of a giant, lightning-fast flying eagle.

"what!"

The eagle crashed to the ground, its black feathers fluttering as if they were real, then gradually vanished into nothingness.

Xie Lingxin looked at the black eagle rolling down a short distance away, took a few steps forward, and frowned, saying, "Why are you people doing this? Don't you want to die?"

The black eagle struggled to raise its head, and when it saw Xie Lingxin's face, its eyes revealed a human-like shock.

This was originally a cultivator's spirit leaving his body, making a desperate attempt to rush into the spiritual mine.

"You are...it was you just now?!"

His voice contained both resentment and shock.

Xie Lingxin remained silent, but Black Hawk already had his answer.

He said angrily, "Why? Haha! What a clueless 'why' from someone who doesn't understand the ways of the world!"

"You noble scions of high-ranking families have always been aloof and superior! How could you possibly understand the hardships of cultivation for ordinary people like us!?"

Seeing that Xie Lingxin was so young yet already possessed such a high level of cultivation, he concluded that she came from a prominent family.

Already at their wits' end, seeing someone so young, able to swat him like a fly, so full of vigor.

It made him feel that all his years of arduous cultivation were a joke!
