There are too many girls, which greatly delays my cultivation of immortality.

Ye Qingchen came to Wuxia Village, found two buckets and ladles, fetched two buckets of water from the Chu River, and carried them up to the cave on the top of the cliff.

Ye Qingchen used the dragon chanting sword to illuminate the cave hall. I happened to see seven laborers carrying heavy sacks walking out of the cave in the dark.

After the workers put down their sacks, they were already sweating profusely from exhaustion. But Ye Qingchen didn't say stop, they didn't dare to neglect and were ready to continue working.

Ye Qingchen pointed to the bucket and said, "Come here and drink some water first."

After a tiring day and having been exposed to high temperatures just now, these workers felt like their throats were about to smoke. Rushing to get a drink of water.

After a while, the two buckets of water had been drank cleanly.

I saw that the size of the cauldron was slowly shrinking. Ye Qingchen did not dare to relax. He held the dragon chanting sword and followed the laborers to work in the cave.

Stepping into the small hole on the inside, you can only move forward with your waist down. The road inside spirals downwards, and should be heading towards the heart of the mountain.

After a while, the end of the cave was seen.

With Ye Qingchen personally coming to "supervise", the workers did not dare to neglect, and worked hard to dig out the mineral soil and fill the sacks.

Ye Qingchen grabbed a handful of mineral soil and looked at it. It was all fine soil powder, not the ore blocks as previously imagined.

He thought to himself that he had often heard of spiritual mines before, but it turned out that this place was spiritual soil. Perhaps in the early years, the immortal family used spiritual minerals to smelt spiritual stones. Later, the spiritual minerals were over-exploited, so they settled for the next best thing and turned to mining this kind of spiritual soil that is difficult to smelt.

After a while, the seven sacks were filled and the workers were ready to transport them up.

Ye Qingchen said: "Wait a minute, put in four more bags."

"Ah?" Someone said with a grimace, "Sir, we really can't have that much luck."

Ye Qingchen said: "Each of you will transport one bag, and I will transport four bags."

Those people had just seen Ye Qingchen's power, and naturally had no doubt that he could transport four bags of spiritual soil. I didn't expect that he would actually participate in the work himself, which was much better than Master Xiong who only supervised but did not work before.

On this trip, a total of eleven bags of spiritual soil were transported. Including the previous seven bags, there are already eighteen bags in total.

Ye Qingchen looked at the sacks piled up into a hill and expected that the cauldron could only hold these.

He expected that after this furnace was finished, the cauldron should still be usable. He ordered the workers to rest for a while, and ordered them to transport it up again within an hour.

He himself was preparing to start condensing spiritual stones.

Following the previous operating procedures of the Xiong brothers, Ye Qingchen first moved the sack containing the spiritual soil into the cauldron, and then poured the royal spiritual material into the cauldron.

Sure enough, the tripod's body soon glowed red, and then turned bright orange.

Although two of the Xiong brothers were guarding the spirits together just now, Ye Qingchen's strength was much higher than them. The efficiency of his operation alone is not inferior to that of the Xiong brothers.

About an hour later, the boiling sound in the cauldron gradually subsided. Ye Qingchen thought that the condensation was completed, so he stopped controlling the spirit.

As the light of the tripod went out, the cave became dark.

Ye Qingchen used the dragon chanting sword light to illuminate, then followed Xiong Rengui's operation method, used his spiritual power to lift up the slag in the cauldron, and then summoned a strong wind to blow it out of the cave.

The spiritual stone is much heavier than the slag, so it will remain in the cauldron.

Ye Qingchen thought to himself that before, they used mortals to sacrifice the tripod, and what they produced were lower-middle-grade yellow spiritual stones. This time I used two golden elixir demon cultivating sacrificial tripods, which should produce at least mid-level orange spiritual stones, right?

He couldn't wait to jump up to the edge of the cauldron, looked inside, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The spiritual stone lying in the cauldron is not orange, but a pile of green. Green is a mid-grade and high-grade spiritual stone, much better than orange.

The colors presented by the nine levels of spiritual stones are from low to high, including black, gray, white, yellow, orange, green, blue, red and purple. With each level, its value can be increased tenfold.

In other words, one middle-grade orange spiritual stone is equivalent to ten lower-medium-grade yellow spiritual stones. And one green spirit stone is equivalent to one hundred yellow spirit stones.

Ye Qingchen happily absorbed the spirit stone into his palm.

"Damn it, there's actually a blue one!" Ye Qingchen was overjoyed.

Blue spirit stones are of high quality and low quality. One blue spirit stone is equivalent to a thousand yellow spirit stones, which shows how precious it is.

In the previous life on earth, spiritual stones were almost extinct. If there were so many spiritual stones, it could be said that in the spiritual world, one would be the richest in the world.

He remembered that he gave Qing Xuanzi two yellow spirit stones, which made her smile. Presumably, spirit stones in this world are relatively rare and precious.

Unexpectedly, I, Ye Qingchen, suddenly transformed into a spiritual stone rich man, haha...

He put the spirit stone into the Yao bag.

He also refined the seven bags of spiritual soil newly brought in by the workers.

This time, I harvested five green spiritual stones and two orange spiritual stones, which is not bad.

It was already midnight.

The laborers were exhausted after a long day, and they all leaned on the edge of the cave and fell asleep.

The cauldron has shrunk to the size where it can only hold two bags of spiritual soil, so there is no point in refining it anymore. Ye Qingchen was very satisfied with having gained so much today.

The size of the cauldron continued to shrink, and after a while, it became only as big as an adult's head, similar to when the second elder took it out.

Previously, Ye Qingchen was wearing a cloak of concealment and could only use his internal strength, making it difficult to move the cauldron. At this time, he took off his cloak and used his spiritual power to pick it up easily.

He put the cauldron into the Yao bag and felt happy. This was a cornucopia.

After putting away the cauldron, he began to mutter.

I don’t know if there are other cauldrons in the Xiong Yao family. If only this one fell into my hands now, wouldn't the Bear Demon family lose their money?

If this were the case, how could they give up? I will definitely make every effort to find the whereabouts of the cauldron. If they knew that this treasure was with me, they would definitely not show mercy. Then I will be in danger.

Although Zhang Kaidong and Lin Zhiruo are not at the scene now, if the prince searches for the cauldron with great fanfare in the future, they will surely deduce that the cauldron fell into my hands.

The best way to prevent them from leaking the secret is to kill them directly. But I, Ye Qingchen, am not a murderous person, and Zhiruo is so pretty, how could I do it?

If they are not killed, they must be made loyal to Princess Feixue.

On the contrary, these seven workers are more troublesome. These people were recruited by the prince's people. The prince's people must know their details.

If they were let back, the prince would find someone to investigate in the future, and they would definitely reveal everything that happened in the cave.

While they were sleeping, kill them with one sword and use them as sacrifices to the tripod?

No, I, Ye Qingchen, cannot do such a heartless and inhumane thing!

Ye Qingchen looked at the seven strong men and thought for a while, and decided to place them in the Linzhou Army first and let Wei Dali strictly control them.

Having made up his mind, Ye Qingchen used some tricks to make these people faint and lose consciousness.

He put away his spiritual power and extinguished the dragon's sword light.

Just as he was about to take the people down the mountain one by one, he suddenly saw a black shadow floating up and landing at the entrance of the cave.

Reflecting the moonlit sky outside, the outline of the black figure was clearly visible.

Ye Qingchen was shocked. This person turned out to be the second elder of the Bear Clan who came with the cauldron during the day!
