This was a good start. However, Lu Li and the Deaf Taoist were frustrated. For 12 days, they did not find one piece of Spring Gold!
They even changed the direction of their digging. On the eighth day, Lu Li went to dig in person. Still, he found nothing.
The black stones could affect psychic power. The two did not know where to find Spring Gold. They had to dig blindly. It was all up to luck.
Back in the castle, the old man once said that if they were lucky, they could find enough Spring Gold for several months in a month. If they were unlucky, they could not find even one piece for months …
Lu Li had to hand in 10 pieces of Spring Gold every month. He had only found one piece. He wanted to give some to the Deaf Taoist so that the latter could recover his abilities.
But now, it seemed that Lu Li could not finish his task, let alone give the Spring Gold to the Deaf Taoist.
At the end of the month, if Lu Li could not hand over the Spring Gold, his service time would be extended by one year. If he could not hand over the Spring Gold in two months, it would be extended by two years.
If he could not finish his task, he might have to stay here for the rest of his life …
"Blood Claw!"
Lu Li used his Bloodline Skill and clawed at the black stone. The stone was crushed into pieces.
Lu Li nodded and said to the Deaf Taoist, "Let's split up. It will be more efficient. Help me finish my task first."
Lu Li did not want to stay here for the rest of his life. According to his plan, he would stay here for a year. After he became a citizen, he would find a way to get more Divine Sources.
In the end, he would go to the Swords Mountain to find Emperor of Heaven Reverse.
Emperor of Heaven Reverse was the master of the Swords Sect, a mighty warrior in the Divinity and an overlord.
Finding Emperor of Heaven Reverse could help Lu Li improve his abilities and find Lu Ling more easily.
Yan Tiangang was a mighty warrior in the Divinity. Given Lu Li's current abilities, he could not defeat Yan Tiangang.
There were also God of Wings, God of Barbarian, and God of Sorcerer. Lu Li was surrounded by enemies everywhere in the Divinity.
Only by finding Emperor of Heaven Reverse could Lu Li gain a firm foothold in the Divinity and find a place to settle down. Only in this way could Lu Li develop quickly and plan slowly.
Emperor of Heaven Reverse once said that when he came to the Divinity and found the Swords Mountain, he would accept Lu Li as his protégé.
Lu Li admired Emperor of Heaven Reverse. He was the forefather of the Heaven Reverse Universe. It was Lu Li's honor to be able to follow Emperor of Heaven Reverse.
Lu Li and the Deaf Taoist started to dig separately. They dug in different directions and after about two miles, they changed their direction and continued to dig separately.
This way, their efficiency was indeed much higher. However, the results were not optimistic. After digging for seven days, the two of them had only dug out one Qingyang Gold …
"Eh?"
When Lu Li was about to put the Spring Gold into his Interspatial Ring, he realized he could not. The Spring Gold seemed to be special and could not be put into Interspatial Rings.
"Hum ~"
Lu Li took out the Wicked Bead. This time, he could put the Spring Gold in easily.
Lu Li thought to himself. So, his Interspatial Ring was not of the Divinity. Could he not store Spring Gold in Interspatial Rings that were not from the Divinity?
"It's been nineteen days and there's only one Qingyang Gold!"
Lu Li was troubled. He dashed into the Wicked Bead and checked on Little White. He fed it a Divine Source and then rubbed his head tiredly.
"Master, are you in trouble?"
The immortal's body suddenly moved. Lu Li heard Blood Fairy's voice in his mind.
Lu Li looked up at the immortal's body. He nodded and told Blood Fairy about his troubles.
Soon, Blood Fairy replied, "Master, do you want me to have a try?"
"You?"
Lu Li was surprised. He shook his head. "You cannot go out. The immortal's body is special. If you are discovered, you will be in big trouble."
"Ha, ha, the immortal's body does not have to go out."
Blood Fairy said with a laugh, "I can control my tentacles to go out of the Wicked Bead. Let me see if I can go into the rocks. If I can, I can help you find the Spring Gold."
"Really?"
Lu Li was cheered up. He dashed out of the Wicked Bead and said to the Blood Fairy, "Have a try."
"Buzzing ~"
The Wicked Bead in Lu Li's hand glowed. Then, a blood-red shadow came out and reached out to the wall.
Lu Li and the Deaf Taoist checked with psychic power. Soon, they were delighted.
They sensed with psychic power that a blood-red vine was extending and moving through the black rocks. In the blink of an eye, it had traveled a mile.
"Good!"
Lu Li was overjoyed. Soon, he came back to his senses and said, "Blood Fairy, be careful. Many people will use psychic power to check. Don't let them see you."
Blood Fairy's vine moved downward at once. In the time for half an incense stick to burn, Lu Li heard a voice in his head, "Two miles to the lower left, there is one!"
"Good!"
Lu Li was overjoyed. He told the Deaf Taoist to dig in that direction. After two miles, they found a piece of Spring Gold.
"Good, good!"
The Deaf Taoist was delighted. With the help of the Blood Fairy, digging for Spring Gold was a piece of cake.
The Blood Fairy seemed to be able to extend her vines indefinitely. Searching for Spring Gold was a piece of cake.
Lu Li was relieved. The Blood Fairy had done him a great favor. Later, if there was a good immortal's body, the Blood Fairy could help him find one.
If worse came to worst, he would kill an enemy for the Blood Fairy when he was strong enough.
"Dig for three miles to the right and one and a half miles down. There are two pieces of Spring Gold there."
"Keep digging. Dozens of miles ahead, there is one …"
"There is one over there …"
Guided by the Blood Fairy, Lu Li and the Deaf Taoist moved quickly. In just over a day, they had dug out 10 pieces of Spring Gold. They had completed their task for the month.
"Keep going!"
Both Lu Li and the Deaf Taoist were excited, especially the Deaf Taoist. Lu Li had completed his task for the month. The Deaf Taoist could consume the rest of the Spring Gold to recover his abilities.
Among the immortals, Lu Li was not strong. After all, he had just made the breakthrough.
The immortal's body could not be revealed easily. The Deaf Taoist knew that he must recover as soon as possible. Otherwise, if Lu Li was killed, the Deaf Taoist would not survive either.
The Deaf Taoist was a creature from the Region of Doom. Average immortals could not find him, but prefecture warriors could. Once his identity was exposed, he would face death.
Therefore, once a fight broke out, the enemies must be killed and the information must not be leaked.
Eight hours later, Lu Li and the Deaf Taoist stopped. The Blood Fairy went back into the Wicked Bead. In eight hours, they had dug out six pieces of Spring Gold. The Deaf Taoist could not wait to consume them.
Lu Li sat on the side to protect the Deaf Taoist. As the Deaf Taoist consumed one piece of Spring Gold after another, Lu Li could clearly feel that the Deaf Taoist's energy was growing.
By the fourth piece of Spring Gold, the Deaf Taoist's energy had already made Lu Li feel suffocated.
"What?"
When the fifth piece of Spring Gold was being consumed, Lu Li sensed a breeze of psychic power. He trembled and yelled, "Oh no, psychic power. It is the Deaf Taoist!"
