The half-month deadline set by the Huoyang Hermit quickly passed.
And when the time was up, his figure did not appear at the Hongyu Peak Stronghold.
This almost confirmed to Zhou Chun that this person likely did not dare to make a move against the Hongyu Peak Stronghold for the time being.
As for breaking his word and losing face,
a high-ranking loose cultivator like Huoyang Hermit who had risen from the lower ranks certainly wouldn't care too much about such face.
After all, it was unlikely that this matter would spread.
Since the threat from the Huoyang Hermit seemed to be temporarily resolved, Zhou Chun immediately had Lin Wan'er start to reopen the mining of the Earth Origin Crystal Jade ore.
All the cultivators at the Hongyu Peak Stronghold were unaware that behind the cavern dwelling of Hongyu and on the mountains outside the formation, there actually lay a vein of Earth Origin Crystal Jade ore.
