Fairy Eye

Those who had already won the lottery were extremely frustrated upon hearing this. Such a big prize! If it had landed in their hands, wouldn't they have become incredibly wealthy overnight?

But soon, everyone's attention turned to the remaining lottery winners.

Whenever someone pulls a slip of paper out of the box and unfolds it, a chorus of boos immediately erupts.

"Hey, this jerk's just as unlucky as me—"

"Hmm, still not working!"

"Ugh, that bastard is such a loser!"

"..."

Seven or eight people in a row left blanks, which not only frustrated the person in question, but also disappointed their friends who were watching.

Kong He's face twitched at the sight, but he was also curious about who would win the last two big prizes.

Finally, only five people remained in the team.

The person drawing the lottery at this time was Lu Xing, the former captain of the moving team.

He was not far from the third level of Qi Refining, and if he could get this reward, he would break through successfully in a very short time.

So I was extremely nervous, and when I took out the note, my hands were trembling so badly I could hardly stop.

He struggled to control himself and unfolded the note, which read: "Spirit Stone Reward, Thirty Stones".

"I won!"

"I won! Look, Butler!"

Upon seeing the words on the note, Lu Xing's mind went blank for a moment, then he excitedly handed the note to Kong He.

Congratulations!

Kong He took the note, glanced at it, smiled and nodded, then immediately took out a bag of spirit stones that he had prepared beforehand and handed it to Lu Xing.

"Thank you, thank you so much, Steward!" Lu Xing clutched the bag of spirit stones, bowing and scraping as he walked to the side in gratitude.

Everyone couldn't hide their envy, but even more so, they were curious about who would win the grand prize.

At this point, there were four people left in the team.

Kong He looked at Han Lin, who was in first place, and smiled, "Han Lin, it's your turn."

"Yes."

Han Lin stepped forward, wrote his name in the ledger, and took a spirit stone. Then, he calmly reached into the lottery box and took out a crumpled piece of paper.

It unfolds slowly.

He paused for a moment, then his eyes lit up: "Sir, look!"

The words "Sixty Spirit Stones" were clearly written on it.

"Wow, Han Lin's luck is incredible! He actually won the grand prize."

"Yes, it's really unfair of heaven. Sixty spirit stones, and they ended up in the hands of an ugly monster."

"Hey? I hadn't noticed until you pointed it out. Did everyone else notice that none of the three big prize winners are good-looking? They're either big and burly, short as a winter melon, or incredibly ugly!"

"Holy crap, it really is! Good heavens, if I'd known this would happen, I wouldn't have been so handsome!"

"..."

As the final grand prize was revealed, the scene erupted in cheers.

Although Han Lin also seemed happy, he wasn't as excited as Lu Xing, because all of this was within his expectations.

As long as the person in front of him hasn't taken the grand prize, then the grand prize will definitely belong to him.

because.

He cheated.

After Lu Xing finished drawing the prize, he secretly used his all-seeing eye to observe the inside of the prize box and directly locked onto the paper ball with the big prize written on it.

Everyone else thought he won by luck, but only Han Lin himself knew that without his extraordinary insight, he might not have been able to win the grand prize.

"Alright, the rewards have been distributed. The camp carriages are ready; you may all return to your respective territories to report for duty."

At this point, the last person had also finished registering. Kong He put his belongings back into his storage bag and said to everyone with a smile.

"We'll take our leave!"

Everyone bowed in unison and turned to walk toward a row of carriages beside them.

When Han Lin arrived at the carriage leading to the Qinglong River, the other two also came over at the same time. However, Han Lin did not say anything to the two of them and directly got into the carriage.

Both of them came from the Qinglonghe Mine.

One of them was Zhu Hao, who had reported Han Lin.

Although he escaped with great difficulty, he had no good feelings towards the person and did not speak a single word to him for a year.

The other person, who was close to Zhu Hao, was also ignored by him.

Seeing that Han Lin and the other two had all boarded the carriage, the driver stopped waiting, lashed out with his whip, and the carriage sped off along a wide road.

In the afternoon, Han Lin and his two companions returned to the Qinglong River camp.

Compared to the Milky Way Valley, the spiritual energy in the Azure Dragon River camp was extremely thin. Han Lin hadn't noticed it before, but now he could feel it immediately as soon as he entered.

It felt like someone who regularly bathed in clear spring water suddenly jumping into a pool of sewage—an instinctive feeling of discomfort.

The three arrived at Liu Zhihu's residence to report for duty. Liu Zhihu was not surprised and simply told them to make their own arrangements as before before sending them away.

Han Lin returned to the stone house where he used to live, tidied up briefly, and then activated the Tongtian Dharma Realm to begin his cultivation.

Zhu Hao and his companion, however, had no spirit stones and could only go to the mine to work as usual.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the news that Han Lin had won the grand prize was leaked, causing everyone to be both shocked and envious.

With the spirit stones, Han Lin's cultivation speed increased rapidly.

In just three days, he refined more than fifty spirit stones!

He also successfully opened his third Qi meridian, becoming a true Qi Refining Level 3 cultivator.

Overjoyed, Han Lin examined the newly manifested energy channel and found that it was indeed as described in the "Return to Origin Technique".

Reaching the fourth level of Qi Refining is a significant hurdle.

The difficulty of breaking through is much higher than that of the third level.

Not only are the barriers in the levels more robust, but the number of levels has also increased from ten to twenty.

"I've reached the third level of Qi Refining. I'll go ask Liu Zhihu about the formal disciple assessment." Han Lin put away the remaining five spirit stones and walked outside.

It was early morning, and from afar, one could see figures emerging from the various stone houses.

Han Lin hadn't gone far when he saw a man in a blue robe approaching him, calling out from afar, "Junior Brother Han."

Han Lin smiled slightly and stepped forward, saying, "Senior Brother Tang."

The person who arrived was Tang Chuan.

Han Lin had a certain fondness for Zhao Ruiling and his group, who had warned him to be careful in the mine.

Tang Chuan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Junior Brother Han, I heard you've acquired some spirit stones, but I imagine you won't be able to refine them all in a short time. Could you lend me some so I can break through to the third level of Qi Refining? Don't worry, I'll pay you back next month."

Upon hearing that it was about borrowing money, Han Lin frowned: "Senior brother, who told you that?"

Tang Chuan said, "It's Zhu Hao and the others."

Zhu Hao.

Han Lin suddenly realized that this person was indeed a big mouth. "Senior brother, it's not that I don't want to lend you the money, but I really don't have many spirit stones left."

"Never mind, forget I said anything." Tang Chuan thought Han Lin didn't want to lend it, after all, how could more than sixty spirit stones be spent in just two or three days?

"etc!"

Han Lin frowned and called out to Tang Chuan, "How many spirit stones do you want to borrow?"

Tang Chuan's expression brightened: "I don't need many, five will be enough. I'm almost done clearing the last level. That way I won't miss the formal disciple assessment this month, otherwise I'll have to wait until September of the second half of the year."
