After all, the people of Yingyuan Island belong to the "technical" category among these miners, and as the Supre Elder of Yingyuan Island, he could be considered an "expert," most familiar with the seals and anomalous qi, even the people of the Dao Spirit Sect valued his opinions greatly.
Therefore, he had a certain degree of freedom in his actions.
He wandered to other areas, occasionally bending down to take a look, acting as if he was inspecting the anomalous qi, and sotis even gave Shui Changxiao one or two useful suggestions, making Shui Changxiao trust Li An even more.
"Hmm?"
Li An was wandering around when today he encountered soone. That person appeared slightly older, with an ordinary appearance, but Li An’s Life Nourishing Immortal Skill sensed clearly...
This person was actually Xun Dongfang!
An elder of the Demon Sect, a ruthless figure of his ti...
When Li An first entered Profound Turtle Peak, he had followed Xun Dongfang for so ti. Xun Dongfang had taught him quite a bit, and even Evil Fourteen, Lin Xianxian, and others had given Li An so essential essence.
Now, he hid his identity and cultivation, pretending to be a low-level miner in the Nascent Soul Realm...
"He’s almost a powerhouse..."
Li An maintained his composure, assessing Xun Dongfang’s cultivation level in his mind.
Clearly, over the years, Xun Dongfang had also greatly improved his realm by benefiting from the Southern Sea’s immortal breeze.
"Indeed, Shangguan Shengxian’s years of infiltration here were not fruitless. She is also paying attention to Giant Tomb Island."
As Li An brushed past, a thought suddenly crossed his mind. He pointed to a huge stone and said, "There’s sothing wrong with this stone. You guys, co over here and split it open to check!"
Among the several people he pointed out, Xun Dongfang was included.
These people exchanged glances, not daring to refuse, and all walked over, but they all had a bitter expression on their faces because the stone was indeed too large, and attempting to split it open was truly daunting.
It would be exhausting.
"Hurry up, what are you waiting for?"
The overseer from the Dao Spirit Sect snapped a whip, and Xun Dongfang and the others had no choice but to grit their teeth and begin splitting the stone, their arms numbing from the effort, sweat pouring down...
And as Li An observed the speed at which their life force was diminishing, he felt satisfied and walked away.
Given that he had a small amount of authority, wouldn’t it be appropriate to add so difficulty for old Xun?
...
Besides the people from the Demon Sect, what surprised Li An even more was that there were also a few disciples from the Dao Sect among them!
They were all elites with expertly concealed auras.
"The Dao Sect, Dao Spirit Parrot, Shangguan Shengxian... What exactly is hidden beneath Giant Tomb Island?"
"Anomalous qi and Taoist marks, are they truly attracting so much attention?"
Li An’s heart beca increasingly serious.
...
In the blink of an eye, two years had passed.
The ravine where Li An was located was most abundant with anomalous qi, and on this day, they finally excavated a large amount of gray crystal earth.
This crystal earth contained a substantial amount of anomalous qi!
"Such rich anomalous qi..."
"Even my Demon Skill has automatically accelerated!"
The crowd gathered around, and Shui Changxiao also landed nearby, staring at the gray crystal earth, frowning, and looking at Li An, saying, "Elder Ying, what do you think?"
Li An also pondered for a long ti and said, "Reporting to senior, this excavation has diverged sowhat from my expectations. If we continue digging, I fear we may uncover a strange corpse."
"No! Right now, we cannot allow a strange corpse to be unearthed. Otherwise, it would cause an overwhelming ripple; you must seal it!"
Shui Changxiao’s expression was solemn as he said, "This must be done!"
Li An’s expression looked a bit difficult, but after hesitating for a mont, he gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I will do my best... From now on, I will personally dig!"
"If I do encounter an Exotic Spirit Corpse, I can seal it in ti!"
Hearing this, Shui Changxiao was satisfied, cupping his hands toward Li An, "Elder Ying, thank you for your hard work. I will request a rit for you from the Saintess!"
"All this gray crystal earth is good stuff and will belong to Yingyuan Island —"
He continued with a slight smile.
Li An, however, gathered up the gray crystal earth, placing more than half into a storage bag, and presented it with both hands to Shui Changxiao respectfully, saying, "Thanks to Senior Shui’s support, Yingyuan Island has had such gains and opportunities, a small gesture, but not enough to express our gratitude..."
Shui Changxiao bead with smiles, saying, "Isn’t there sothing amiss with that..."
Although the strange aura contained within the gray crystal earth wasn’t as intense as that of the Exotic Spirit Corpse, it was still quite rare.
"What’s wrong with that! Without Senior Shui’s support, how could we have today’s success?" Li An was highly enthusiastic.
Shui Changxiao nodded contentedly and imdiately accepted, leaning his head closer to whisper to Li An, "Elder Ying, this place is a bit eerie. You should daily take so spirit dicine to replenish life essence, make sure to gather so crystal stones, and I will procure treasured pills for you from the sect later."
Li An bowed even more, "Thank you, senior, for your support!"
Apparently, the Dao Spirit Sect was aware of the situation here, and if it weren’t for the benefits Li An had provided, Shui Changxiao certainly wouldn’t have ntioned it...
"You guys continue to dig at these few spots, and this pit, I will handle personally –"
Li An spoke imdiately, picking up a specially made stone hoe and jumping into a pit seven or eight ters deep.
...
Good night.
