The entire sect is obsessed with love, but I'm the only one who's truly insane.

"Junior Uncle, it's done."

In just half a day, the mine was completely mined. Yue Han looked at the cart full of crystals in his Xuan Rabbit and smiled with the happiness of an old farmer harvesting rice.

"I picked so many!"

Lin Du glanced at Yuan Ye and made a gesture.

"These are all yours, young master. You've earned your living through your own hard work. Keep them, but I don't recommend using these raw stones to pay in the Dongming Realm," Yuan Ye said.

Yue Han was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened in surprise, "For me?"

"Yes, when you go on a trip, don't you bring back some local specialties to prove you've been to your family? Here, local specialties from the Cold Moon Secret Realm." Yuan Ye pointed to a handful of crystals with a dull luster.

Lin Du watched as everyone pocketed the Moon Crystals, then said, "Alright, let's go."

We'll divide the spoils when we get home. It's a professional team; we don't distinguish between you and me.

As soon as she spoke, Ni Jinxuan took on the role of a human lucky charm and compass, moving forward based on her intuition.

Surrounded by them, Yue Han held a small piece of moon crystal and sighed, "Huang Xuan, they are so kind."

Even though he was so poor, he was still willing to give him that bag of crystals.

It was incredibly moving.

Huang Xuan: ...This is what it means to be sold out and still help the seller count the money.

Yue Han, completely unaware of the situation, was still communicating telepathically with Huang Xuan, saying, "Why do you all say there are so many bad people? I think there are still more good people in the world!"

Huang Xuan hesitated for a moment, "Young Master, they took your money, a lot of money."

Six hundred spirit crystals could support an ordinary small sect for many years.

"But they really are all good people! They opened that mine themselves, I just touched the magical artifact, and they gave me what they mined."

Huang Xuan's voice was stiff. "Perhaps it's because I feel guilty."

"Huh? What do you mean by feeling guilty?" Yue Han's eyes widened.

Huang Xuan: ...

"It's nothing, young master, watch the road." Huang Xuan stopped reminding him. Anyway, he would learn from his mistakes and know whether there were more good or bad people in the world. He would pay for his lessons.

A day in the Cold Moon Secret Realm is extremely long. Although it is only open for fourteen days, it is equivalent to a month in the Cave Enlightenment Realm.

The group traveled quite a distance, encountering many large-scale mining operations by merchant guilds along the way.

Fortunately, they were all operating in a non-interfering mode. Yue Han glanced around and noticed several mine shafts with many people moving back and forth, seemingly laying tracks and carts. She whispered, "Why don't they use an array to blast open the mountain and leave only the spirit crystal in the center?"

This time, Yan Qing didn't need to answer; Huang Xuan immediately replied, "Because they can't do it."

Such precise predictions and calculations, and the ability to construct a formation covering two hundred acres, are beyond the capabilities of ordinary people.

So when will Yue Han realize that "Zhen Liu" is not as kind and harmless as he seems?

Upon hearing this, Lin Du smiled and said, "It's not that it's impossible, but that it's unnecessary."

"It's a matter of cost. Hiring a formation master to survey and design a formation would require at least tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones, while labor is cheap. A laborer might only cost a few hundred low-grade spirit stones a day, and hiring a hundred laborers would only cost a few high-grade spirit stones."

Her voice suddenly deepened, and Yue Han, who was used to staring at people while speaking, looked directly into Lin Du's eyes.

He didn't understand the meaning in her eyes, but he felt as if the snowstorm in her eyes had intensified.

Those ashen eyes suddenly brightened with a smile. "So, young master, the common people suffer, which is why they need to acquire more skills and find better ways out. How about it? Our professional team, aren't we all-around amazing?"

Yue Han nodded subconsciously.

They walked further and further towards the edge of the mining area. There was too much haze in the air, so few people flew to avoid creating too much wind; most walked.

The further we walked, the fewer people we saw, as if we had entered a deserted place.

Yue Han was a little bored, so Yan Qing simply gave him a polishing cloth that could polish crystals, "Polish it, and when it becomes a proper Moonstone, we'll be there."

Like coaxing a naughty child, Yue Han actually walked around while polishing a somewhat dark rough stone.

Even Lin Du didn't notice when he stopped walking and kept walking forward with his head down.

"Junior Uncle?"

"A natural maze." Lin Du took out another array plate, his eyes full of interest. "We originally thought we were going in a straight line, but actually we deviated from the path."

Yan Qing reached out and grabbed Yue Han by the back of his collar, forcing him to stop.

"Junior Uncle, how did you find out?" Ni Jinxuan asked curiously.

"Because the way the young master and Huang Xuan walked out was wrong, relying on their instincts."

Prolonged mechanical walking makes walking more instinctive than conscious control in living organisms.

As early as when they first arrived at the Cold Moon Secret Realm, Lin Du clearly noticed that Huang Xuan's symptoms of discomfort were more intense than Yue Han's. She hardly spoke at all, and her walking was also somewhat abnormal.

Because he was always taciturn, no one noticed anything amiss.

Monsters, especially migratory birds, are more sensitive to magnetic fields.

Peacocks are not migratory birds, so Yue Han is in better mental condition.

The Cold Moon Secret Realm is rich in minerals, but its magnetic field is extremely chaotic and uneven. Huang Xuan seemed to have only just recovered a lot and became much more talkative.

It's because the magnetic field here isn't disordered, but has mysteriously disappeared.

Huang Xuan was stunned by Lin Du's keen insight and deductive reasoning. He looked at the white-haired youth in front of him with suspicion and uncertainty.

Judging from the intelligence he displayed, this person probably recognized them from the very beginning. So, wouldn't that mean... he came for them?

If it's for wealth, that's fine, but if it's something else...

For the first time, Huang Xuan felt a hint of murderous intent.

The young man was already wandering around with the array plate, his voice drifting lazily over, "Oh my, this kind of natural maze array proves that there must be extremely rare metal ore here! We're rich, we're rich! Young master, I won't share this with you, this metal ore isn't very attractive."

Another, shorter young man excitedly asked, "Junior Uncle, I think it's here!"

"Really? Then I'll do as you say! Our warehouse will be overflowing with goods!"

A group of six people were jumping around trying to find a way out, just like monkeys on the mountain. Huang Xuan looked up at the sky and thought it didn't seem like an act. He looked again.

"Alright, found it. The gate to life is here. Grand Nephew, open the gate for me. Use... the Miasma-Breaking Sword."

"Here it comes." Mo Lin drew his sword and staff, but did not unsheathe them.

With a single sword strike, a sword aura as powerful as purple-gold lightning pierced through the direction Lin Du pointed out. In an instant, heaven and earth were connected, and the illusion dissipated.

A mountain gleaming with an eerie light appeared before them.

It was undoubtedly an extremely strange mountain, with sharp edges and corners, almost like a naturally formed crystal, multifaceted and angular, clustered into bursting "mushrooms", shimmering with the colorful luster of peacock tail feathers, or like crude oil floating on the water and refracting the sunlight.

"This stone is really..." Yuan Ye struggled to find the right words, "...a multicolored black."

Lin Du stroked Ni Jinxuan's head with satisfaction, the veins on the back of his hand bulging with excitement as she moved his sharkskin gloves. "Now this is what you call a real gold mine."

And here comes the rare mineral.

"This time, the enormous mustard seed space that my second senior brother gave me has really come in handy."
