One is to give the fat boy a few low-grade spirit stones to ensure that the fat boy is among the top three and is admitted as an inner disciple.
The second is to get rid of the troublesome Wang Yin. Even if he gets injured, he must beat him up so that he won't dare to provoke him again in the short term.
The third is to find a way to stay at the old site of Yunhai Gate, so that he can come to the mine frequently in the future to collect miscellaneous spirit stones and turn them into treasures.
On the other side, Wang Yin was very annoyed.
He had clearly memorized which mine Yuanxiao had entered, and had teamed up with the tall and short boys to chase after her. He had thought catching up with Yuanxiao would be easy, just a matter of time. But when he reached the first fork in the road, he knew he was in trouble.
Like Wang Yin and Yuan Xiao, they had not anticipated the bifurcation and fusion in the mine, but it brought surprise to one person and rage to the other.
"Should we split up? You choose one fork in the road, and we two brothers choose the other." The tall boy turned around and asked.
Wang Yin thought, if I wasn't here, even if you two saw Yuanxiao, you would definitely not take action, so there would be no point in splitting up into two groups.
"No, take the left path. Let's go together and try our luck!"
I have to say that Wang Yin was lucky. This was the first time he made the right bet.
But a person's luck cannot always be good. He soon arrived at the second node, which was the node where the two mines merged and continued to extend forward. It was here that Yuanxiao turned around and went back to the square along the other mine.
"What do we do now? Continue forward or go back?" asked the tall boy.
"Keep going!" Wang Yin thought to himself. Yuan Xiao was no coward, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to fight him in public at the reception inn. He also didn't know that he and the short and tall boy had formed an alliance, and now there were three of them.
Although Wang Yin hated this kid very much, he also admitted that Yuanxiao was not afraid of him in a one-on-one fight.
Of course, Wang Yin himself wasn't afraid of him; he still had a trump card to play. He'd brought the tall and short boys along to make things easier, and to prevent others from joining in to help his opponent.
Not only was Yuanxiao not afraid of him, but everyone also had the task of finding low-grade spirit stones, so he bet that Yuanxiao would continue to move forward, prioritize finding spirit stones, or wait for him somewhere to duel with him.
This time, Wang Yin was unlucky and made a wrong bet.
Yuan Xiao's primary goal was to find a safe place to test the Apocalypse Pearl. Only after the test was complete would he seek an opportunity to duel with Wang Yin.
Wang Yin and the other two chose to continue forward along the mine, but they encountered two more forks along the way. It was not until they reached a platform and saw no further road ahead that they realized they had reached the end of the mine.
The three of them searched around and found only some miscellaneous spirit stones on the broken walls and the ground, but no white low-grade spirit stones.
Wang Yin and the other two had no choice but to return to the previous fork in the road and head towards another mine. However, Wang Yin's main purpose was to find Yuanxiao, while the tall and short boy's main purpose was to find the white low-grade spirit stone.
During this time, I also encountered two other young men from the same team, one fat and one thin. After punching and kicking them, I searched their bags and bodies, but couldn't find any low-grade spirit stones. I really couldn't steal them. The other party didn't have any spirit stones at all, so how could I steal them?
Apart from that, I didn't see anyone else. After all, it was completely normal for dozens of people to be scattered across hundreds of mines and not see each other.
Wang Yin estimated that two or three hours had passed, and still no sign of Yuanxiao. Suddenly, an idea struck him: Could Yuanxiao have returned to the square at the fusion cave entrance? It was possible. After all, when Yuanxiao first entered the mine, he should have anticipated his pursuit, so a detour was possible.
Thinking of this, Wang Yin said, "Why don't you two follow me back to the square and wait for the opportunity. Yuanxiao will definitely be there. We just need to hide in a cave in advance and observe what's going on in the square."
"As for your losses, I will repay you after I receive my monthly cultivation resources. As you've heard, each inner disciple receives three low-grade spirit stones per month. After I receive my first month's supply, I will give one to each of you."
Seeing that the tall and short boys were still hesitant, Wang Yin continued, "We have been searching for two or three hours and haven't found any low-grade spirit stones. This shows that the chances of finding them are slim. We might as well go back to the square earlier. If someone returns and finds low-grade spirit stones, we can snatch them from them there. Wouldn't that give us a better chance?" After hearing these words, the tall and short boys nodded repeatedly.
Wang Yin turned around and sneered, "You two outer disciples are still thinking of asking for my first month's supply of low-grade spirit stones? Dream on! You'll probably get a beating later!"
An hour later, Wang Yin and the other two finally returned to the square through the mine, but they did not show up. Instead, they put away the night pearl in advance and hid in the dark at the entrance of the mine, staring at the movements in the square outside.
Yuanxiao was also on his way back to the square. After the experiment, he left the platform with the room, closed the revolving stone door, and blocked it up again with the scrap stones. Perhaps he would have another chance to come back next time.
There are too many mines here, and it is not easy to find Little Fatty and Xu Ying. It is better to wait for them to return in the square, and then find a chance to give Little Fatty a few low-grade spirit stones.
It was already midnight, and the mountains were completely dark. However, at the entrance to the mine, the dome still had two large night-light pearls intact, so visibility was still good.
Based on his walking speed and distance, Yuanxiao estimated that he was almost near the square, so he put away the night pearl in advance to avoid exposing himself, and the surroundings fell into darkness.
Yuanxiao feels that his eyesight is getting better and better recently. Not only can he see things that are very far away or very small, but his night vision ability has also greatly improved. It is getting better day by day and is still being improved.
In fact, in the later stages of cultivation, although vision is useful, it is no longer the main thing. The cultivator's spiritual awareness will be more acute, and can detect things that are invisible to the naked eye in a wider range. The higher the level of cultivation, the stronger the spiritual awareness, and the greater the role of spiritual awareness.
But for mortals and novice cultivators who have just started to cultivate immortality, sharp eyesight is still very useful.
Finally, the square could be seen. Yuanxiao was not in a hurry to show up because he knew that Wang Yin might be lying in ambush there.
"Pa!" Yuan Xiao suddenly slapped himself on the head. Was he stupid? He had the perfect treasure in his hand, but he didn't think of using it.
The Feather of Hidden God! Brother Sikong Zhaiyue had relied on this treasure to escape the pursuit of the Purple Leaf Immortal Guards and the Black Mountain Immortal Guards.
Even the immortal guards cannot discover the hidden effect of this treasure, let alone little Wang Yin!
Last time we fought hard, this time we must have something relaxing and fun!
Thinking of this, Yuanxiao laughed evilly!
