Xiandao Linglong

Chapter 224 Marble Mine

"Sir! Sir! I'm from Hope City. This is my younger brother. He's seriously ill and has spent all his savings seeking medical treatment. I'm desperate and want to come to you to earn some money!"

Although Ye Qi's performance was a bit exaggerated, the supervisor took one look at Le Qingqing, who looked sick and dying, and didn't think too much of it. He pointed at him with disgust and cursed, "You brought a sickly person in here, you want us to get sick and die! Get out of here!"

Yue Qingqing looked at the two people in front of her, feeling somewhat puzzled. She was a beautiful young girl, and although she never boasted about her beauty, it was impossible for people not to recognize that she was a woman, right?

But when she raised her arms, she discovered that her clothes had been secretly replaced with men's clothes. Her arms and exposed skin were all covered with a layer of dirt. She looked so dirty that even she felt disgusted!

But just when Yue Qingqing wanted to speak, Ye Qi suddenly pressed an acupoint on her body from behind. Even though she tried her best to shout, no sound came out of her throat.

"Sir! I have nowhere else to go, so please take me and the other two in and let us have some food here!"

Ye Qi secretly stuffed the few small coins he had left on him into the man's hand. The man didn't doubt it. After all, looking at Ye Qi's clothes, he could tell that he was a down-and-out young man, so it was normal for him to have some money.

But in a place like this, money may not necessarily buy a bowl of rice or a sip of water, so it is normal to spend money to find a job like this.

"Alright! Since you're so sensible, I'll let you two stay here for a while. However, you two need to dig twice as much marble as the others every day. If you can't finish it, you'll end up dying a miserable death!"

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"

Seeing that the man no longer questioned their origins and left his sight, Ye Qi untied the mute point on Le Qingqing's body!

"Why are you staying here? And what's going on with the clothes and mud on me?" Yue Qingqing asked.

"Marble mines are extremely rare. Now that we are here, it would be a loss if we don't get some treasures. What's more, you are sick now. Taking you away will mean we have to sleep in the open for a while. It's better to stay here for a few days!" Ye Qi looked around and made sure that no one was paying attention to him before he spoke in a low voice.

"Then what about my clothes?" Yue Qingqing seemed to have guessed the answer in her heart, but still asked in a reserved and shy manner.

"Well... we don't even have the strength to protect ourselves right now, and Qingqing's beauty is so eye-catching, so this is also a precautionary measure!" Ye Qi responded with a guilty smile.

"Snapped!"

Just as Ye Qi finished speaking, a crisp slapping sound suddenly rang out. Then, Le Qingqing's face was filled with anger. She pointed a finger and warned in a low voice, "Although I trust you, if you do something so inappropriate again, I... I will spill blood three feet away to prove my innocence!"

"Okay! Okay! Okay! I'm scared of you! You take a good rest first, I'm going to mine. Including your share, the workload is four times! Not only did you not thank me, but I also got a slap in the face! Alas! It's so unfair!" Ye Qi stood up and sighed. As he spoke, he picked up the iron pickaxe on the ground that was not very convenient to use and went into the mine underground!

As for Yue Qingqing, she leaned stupidly against the rock, watching him leave. Then she looked at her hands and muttered to herself, "Yue Qingqing, you really are sick. Why are you worrying about him? That scoundrel took advantage of you...it's all his own fault!"

After going down into the mine, Ye Qi was shocked when he saw the white marble all around. It was the first time for him to see a marble mine. He only knew that he had accidentally obtained a piece of tri-color marble last time, but it was also a very small piece!

In the marble mine where they are now, although the spiritual energy contained in these ordinary marbles is extremely thin, for such a large mine, the spiritual energy accumulates little by little and cannot be underestimated. Moreover, how could such a large mine be filled with ordinary marble?

Just as Ye Qi was still marveling at the vast marble mine, suddenly waves of spiritual energy rippled from the ring on his finger.

After a quick check, Ye Qi discovered that it was the vibration emitted by a piece of tri-color marble in his collection.

I originally wanted to give this marble to Shu'er, but something happened suddenly and I forgot to give it to Shu'er. Fortunately, I actually used this marble by accident!

According to legend, this cloud stone is extremely spiritual. The more powerful the cloud stone is, the stronger the resonance between it and other cloud stones will be. Looking at the cloud stones emitting three different colors in the palm of his hand, Ye Qi couldn't help but look forward to other cloud stones that could resonate with the cloud stone in his palm.

If I could find ten or eight of these treasures, not only would I be able to recover my strength, I might even be able to break through to the third level of Wuji Indestructible in one fell swoop. By then, even if I encounter a strong man in the Jindan stage, I would be able to fight him!

As Ye Qi slowly walked deeper into the cave following the three-colored marble in his hand, the number of miners around him became fewer and fewer, as if everyone had stopped here at the same time, and few dared to approach.

There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. After experiencing so much, Ye Qi naturally understands that the more bizarre the place is, the more opportunities it has. However, this opportunity is often accompanied by danger!

"Little brother! Are you new here? I advise you not to be interested in the things in there. It could kill you!"

Just as Ye Qi stuck his head out to take a look at the dark mine deep inside where the white light from the marble was no longer emitted, suddenly a man next to him grabbed his arm and stopped him from going deeper.

"What's inside? Uncle, have you ever seen any rare treasures inside?"

Ye Qi saw that the uncle looked panicked, and it was not difficult to tell from his expression that there must be something inside that was beyond the cognition of the miners here.

Combined with the perception and traction of the three-colored marble in his hand, although he didn't know whether it was a higher-level marble, at least the spiritual energy contained in it would definitely not be much weaker than that of ordinary treasures!

"There are no rare treasures here! There lives a stone monster in here! It's neither human nor demon, and it has immense power. It's said that if it takes a look at you, you'll instantly become part of this marble mine. Maybe the marble we're digging right now could be the remains of living people!"
