Lu Li did not have the thought of robbing others of Spring Gold. But he did not like the man's tone.
After the time for one breath, Lu Li decided to keep a low profile and walked into the distance.
The Divinity was full of powerful immortals. Lu Li would not make trouble if he could avoid it. It was not like there was a feud that could not be resolved.
Lu Li walked on for more than a dozen miles. He realized that there were too many caves at the Mountain of Vicissitudes. This place was like an underground palace.
But the further he went, the fewer people there were. He had been walking for the time for several incense sticks to burn without running into anyone.
Lu Li used psychic power to check. Making sure that nobody was around, he took out the Wicked Bead. The Deaf Taoist appeared in front of him.
"How is Little White?"
Lu Li put away the Wicked Bead and asked. The Deaf Taoist nodded. "Basically, she is fine. But she needs to be fed with a Divine Source every five days. To fully recover, she will need good pellets."
The Deaf Taoist looked around. His eyes glowed. "Lord, you are in the Divinity?
Where is this place? "
"Vicissitudes House, Mountain of Vicissitudes. I need to serve here for a year to mine Spring Gold!"
Lu Li explained. The Deaf Taoist trembled. He was overjoyed. His voice trembled as he asked, "Lord, are you sure it is Spring Gold?"
"Yes. What is it?" Lu Li asked with a frown.
"This is good!"
The Deaf Taoist drooled. "I once heard about Spring Gold. It is a top-level material that only powerful warriors of the Asmodian Realm can enjoy.
One piece of Spring Gold can be traded for many materials in the Region of Doom. It seems to be very useful for us beasts. If I can have some Spring Gold, I might be able to heal my wounds and restore my abilities to the peak. Maybe … I can even become more powerful! "
"Ah?"
Lu Li was surprised. Then, he was overjoyed. He did not expect to be so lucky.
Lu Li asked at once, "Deaf Taoist, how powerful will you be when you are at the peak?
Can you be compared to warriors on the list? "
"Of course not …"
The Deaf Taoist rolled his eyes. "Lord, do you think it is so easy to get on the list?
There are billions of immortals in the Divinity, but there are only one million on the list. Only powerful immortals can make it on the list.
If he joined any prefectural army, he would be a commander-level expert.
My combat power isn't too strong at its peak, but it shouldn't be a problem to deal with ordinary deities. "
"Commander?
Is Commander Ye an expert on the Divine List? "
Lu Li thought to himself. Commander Ye was horrifying. Even warriors on the list were so strong. How strong would Yan Tiangang be?
It was unimaginable.
If he was targeted by Yan Tiangang, he would probably be killed instantly. There would be no chance for him to survive.
"Let's go, let's go find the Qingyang Gold!"
Lu Li waved his hand and led the Deaf Taoist forward. First, they would find a piece of Spring Gold to see if the Deaf Taoist could consume it.
If he could recover his peak strength, he would be very safe in the mine, and he would not be afraid of other gods killing him.
Commander Ye said that he couldn't keep Qingyang Gold for himself, but he didn't say that he couldn't refine it, right?
Perhaps even ordinary Gods wouldn't be able to refine it. Otherwise, Commander Ye would have clearly stated that it wasn't allowed.
They hurried on. Soon, they ran into a team. Lu Li and the Deaf Taoist stood on the side, keeping a low profile. That team threw them a glance but did not pay any attention.
Along the way, the Deaf Taoist's psychic power was stronger than Lu Li's. He could see more than two miles into the walls.
What frustrated them was that they had been running for two hours and they had covered a long distance. Yet, they did not find one piece of Spring Gold.
"How about we find a small mine and dig our way in?"
In many places, Lu Li found that there were people digging in and opening up new tunnels.
After all, those tunnels were dug by the old warriors. Even if there were Spring Gold, it would have been taken away.
"Sure!"
The Deaf Taoist agreed. They searched around and found a remote tunnel. They snuck in and blocked the tunnel with rocks.
"Bang!"
At the depth of the mine, Lu Li picked up the pickaxe given to him by prefecture warriors and smashed at a black rock. With a muffled sound, a piece of black rock was dug out.
"Not bad!"
The black rock was not particularly hard. Otherwise, Lu Li would not know what to do. He threw the pickaxe to the Deaf Taoist and said, "Go ahead. I will cultivate."
"Okay!"
The Deaf Taoist nodded but said nothing. He was Lu Li's spiritual beast, a slave. How could he disobey Lu Li's orders?
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The Deaf Taoist picked up the pickaxe and dug quickly. The rocks were dug out and smashed into dust.
Lu Li sat in a corner and took out the Wicked Bead to check on Little White. Making sure that Little White was fine, he began to cultivate.
He had learned the Fundamental Principle of wind but he had not mastered it completely.
During the last few months before he ascended to the Immortal World, he had been with the others and did not have the time to stabilize his realm. Now that he had the time, it was a good chance for him to do so.
The Deaf Taoist was digging fast. He did not dig out a large tunnel, only one with a width of two to three feet.
The Deaf Taoist was strong. He wielded the pickaxe like a windmill. In the time for three incense sticks to burn, he had dug out a depth of more than one thousand feet.
It was a pity that there was not one piece of Spring Gold.
That being said, if he could find Spring Gold just by digging out a tunnel of more than one thousand feet, then the task would be easy.
Lu Li observed for a while and decided to leave the Deaf Taoist alone. He would cultivate and let the Deaf Taoist dig by himself.
This was the reason why Lu Li didn't form a team. Since he had free labor, why not use it?
It was a pity that there was only one pickaxe and the immortal's body was too frightening to be spotted. Otherwise, Lu Li would have let the immortal's body out as well.
Half a day later, not one piece of Spring Gold was found. The tunnel had been dug for dozens of miles.
The Deaf Taoist did not give up. He kept on digging.
"Lord, I have found it!"
A day later, the Deaf Taoist's joyful voice echoed in the tunnel.
Lu Li opened his eyes and flew over. When he reached the Deaf Taoist, he saw a piece of metal the size of a palm in the Deaf Taoist's hand at once.
"This is Spring Gold!"
This palm-sized piece of rock was the same as the Spring Gold the prefecture warrior showed them. It was golden in color and there seemed to be colorful airflows flowing in it. It gave people a comfortable feeling. One look and Lu Li could tell that it was a piece of treasure.
"Try and see if you can consume it.
I will be your protector! "
Lu Li waved his hand. The Deaf Taoist sat down in excitement. Lu Li stayed next to the Deaf Taoist and used psychic power to check the surroundings at all times.
Spring Gold belonged to the Vicissitude House. All Spring Gold must be handed over. The Deaf Taoist would be executed once he was discovered to be consuming the Spring Gold without permission. Even the Deaf Taoist might be killed along with the Spring Gold.
"I can!"
A moment later, the Deaf Taoist opened his eyes in excitement. He nodded to Lu Li gratefully. "Lord, please protect me. I will finish in two hours at most."
Lu Li waved his hand. The Deaf Taoist wrapped up the Spring Gold in the black air and began to consume it. Lu Li used psychic power to check the surroundings. Once he noticed any sign of trouble, Lu Li would tell the Deaf Taoist to put away the Spring Gold.
Two hours later, the Spring Gold in the Deaf Taoist's hand disappeared completely. The Deaf Taoist opened his eyes, filled with excitement. He said with certainty, "Lord, I have recovered a bit. The Spring Gold is indeed a top-notch material. I will be able to recover to my peak after consuming five more pieces of Spring Gold."
"Okay. Keep digging!"
