"I don't know!" Fatty couldn't help but said depressedly, "I was just a little fat before, and my body was not weak, but I wasn't strong to this extent. But since I started practicing that kind of exercises, I feel like my body is expanding like air. In more than three years, not only did I grow half a foot taller, but my body also grew two times bigger. My whole body is full of strength."
After saying that, Xiao Pang raised his fist and smashed it hard on the ground, creating a small hole more than a foot deep. You know, this is a rocky ground? Such an easy punch can have such an effect, which shows how strong Xiao Pang is and how hard his fist is.
"Wow, your martial arts is really amazing. You can practice thunder magic and have such a strong body. It's almost against the will of heaven." Han Yufeng said in surprise.
"I'm afraid the immortal skills recorded in our sect's "Xuantian Secret Code" are just like this, right?" The monkey said enviously.
"Maybe, but it makes me so big that when I put on the Taoist robe I look like a fat man, which is really unpleasant!" said the fat boy aggrievedly.
"Don't be so ungrateful!" Han Yufeng rolled her eyes at Xiao Pang and said, "He just looks a little fatter, doesn't he? What's the big deal?"
"Yes, how many people want this kind of skill but can't get it!" said the monkey.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore!" Xiaopang couldn't stand the eager gazes of the two people, and hurriedly changed the subject: "See, the Five Elements Essence Water, a super spiritual item that can quickly replenish mana. With it, we can go out at will!"
"In that case, should we leave first, or should we look around here to see if there are any treasures we've missed?" Han Yufeng asked.
"Look for it more. There's no rush anyway. Besides, it's not easy to come here once, and there may not be another chance in the future!" said Xiaopang.
"Okay!" The other two nodded, and then the three of them began a new exploration. It was only at this time that Han Yufeng felt something was wrong, as if she had missed something. She then remembered that she had been asking Xiaopang why he suddenly disappeared, but when Xiaopang interrupted her, she actually forgot to mention it. It was obvious that Xiaopang did this on purpose, and she just fell for his trick.
Han Yufeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she thought of this. She used to think that Xiaopang was just lucky and actually quite stupid, but now it seems that he could fool her without her knowing it, making her completely unable to figure out his true intentions. How could he be a fool? It can be seen that the stupidity that Xiaopang usually showed was completely a disguise. This guy was clearly pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger?
Although Han Yufeng came to her senses, she could tell from Xiaopang's behavior that he didn't want to reveal too many of his secrets, so Han Yufeng didn't ask too much, so as not to cause embarrassment to both parties. In fact, it was normal to think about it. Every cultivator had his own secrets, which were either about cultivation or about magic weapons and treasures. Only the cultivator himself knew them, and even the Taoist partners who practiced together would not share them all. This was something that all cultivators knew and were used to. Han Yufeng herself also had a trump card that Xiaopang didn't know about, so she could understand Xiaopang's feelings, so she didn't have any estrangement with Xiaopang because of this.
Seven days later, Xiaopang and his two companions searched all over the cave. In addition to finding a large number of spiritual stones, they did not find any spiritual objects like the Five Elements Pure Lotus. But think about it, this is also normal. If the natural treasures were so easy to get, wouldn't they be everywhere? How could it be worth the monks' efforts to collect them? After searching fruitlessly, they finally arrived at the entrance of the cave and planned to return to the sect.
But before leaving, Xiaopang called the two of them and asked, "What do you think we should do with this Five Elements Spiritual Stone Mine?"
"Need I ask? Of course I'll keep it for myself. When we run out of spirit stones in the future, we can come and dig them anytime and anywhere!" the monkey said immediately.
"Well, that's right. I also think it's better to keep the secret of this mineral vein to ourselves!" Han Yufeng agreed.
"Is that what you think?" Little Fatty scratched his head, then smiled bitterly and said, "You two just offended the Blood Crows on Blood Crow Ridge. It's good enough that you can escape this time. Do you still want to come back to dig for spirit stones in the future? I say, do you think the Blood Crows here don't bear grudges?"
"Ah" Han Yufeng and Monkey exclaimed after hearing this. Only then did they remember that this place seemed to be their restricted area.
But Han Yufeng immediately said, "Can't you send us out? Then you should be able to send us back, right?"
"Yes, yes, Fatty, just help us!" the monkey hurriedly followed.
"You two, the reason I can go out this time is that I have to consume a huge amount of Five Elements Essence Water. Do you know how much Five Elements Essence Water is worth? This thing is an important auxiliary material for refining some high-level elixirs. The natural Five Elements Essence Water is very rare and not enough. Usually, the big sects consume a large amount of spirit stones and use special magic weapons to refine it by themselves. The quality of this kind of Five Elements Essence Water is not high, but it is very expensive. Every drop is worth thousands of spirit stones. And this time when we go out, conservatively estimated that I will have to drink at least one and a half kilograms of it, which is hundreds of thousands of spirit stones!" Xiaopang smiled bitterly and said, "Spending so much money just to let you come here to dig spirit stone ore worth hundreds of thousands of spirit stones? How stupid do you have to be to think of such a loss-making business?"
"This..." Han Yufeng and Monkey were suddenly speechless.
"If you ask me, this spiritual stone vein is of no use to us at all!" Little Fatty then said, "That pool of five-element water belongs to the three of us, and you have taken a lot of it. If we sell any of it, it will be enough for us to spend for decades. Why do we need to mine it ourselves? Do you really like digging caves to mine?"
"Who likes mining?" Han Yufeng asked hurriedly, "But if we don't mine, will we just leave it there? If we dig out all the minerals in such a large mining area, my goodness, the output will be hundreds of millions of spirit stones, maybe even more!"
"Yes, such a huge fortune can't be thrown away in vain, right?" the monkey said unwillingly.
"It's certainly not good to throw it away, but it's not realistic for us to dig it out ourselves. After all, this is a public place in Cangmang Mountain, and people come and go from time to time. What if we are discovered? Can we protect this place? What's more, mining is a big project. Without the support of a big force, three people alone will never be able to finish digging even if they die of exhaustion," said Xiaopang.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Han Yufeng asked.
"If it were up to me, we should hand this mineral vein over to the sect!" Little Fatty said with a proud smile, "Although the lower-level disciples of Xuantian Branch are filthy, the upper-level ones are still very trustworthy. After all, it is a famous and upright sect! With such a great contribution, you will definitely enter the inner gate directly, and the two of us will also be given a certain degree of attention. As long as we are noticed by the upper-level ones, we won't be afraid of anyone plotting against us in the future!"
