Mo Hua went to ask Elder Yu, "Elder, how much longer do we need to guard the Spiritual mines?"
Elder Yu took a sip of wine, thought for a moment, and said, "Hard to say."
Mo Hua didn't quite understand.
Then Elder Yu explained, "If things keep going like this, the Qian Family is bound to lose without a doubt, and that old guy Qian Zhongxuan won't be able to turn the tide. But since this is about Spiritual mines, I estimate the Qian Family won't just let it go and will probably think of other ways."
Mo Hua nodded in agreement.
In the following days, the Qian Family kept a low profile and made no major moves.
It was not until one morning, before dawn, in the midst of a thin mist, that a large group of cultivators of various appearances entered Big Black Mountain, reaching the base of Nameless Peak to greet Elder Qian.
It was then that Qian Zhuang realized what Elder Qian meant by "even if it costs a fortune."
