After getting the token, the two of them boarded the waiting airship.

Although the spirit vein was not far, it would take a Foundation Establishment cultivator two days to fly there. If Dong Xi and the others were to walk, it would take even longer.

Dong Xi and his partner were very young and attracted many people’s gazes as soon as they came up.

There were even some who saw that they were from the Ningtian Sect and immediately tried to strike up a conversation with them. Dong Xi was a little worried that Ke Xin would reveal their background.

However, he heard Ke Xin tell others that the two sisters were all daughters of the family and no one loved them. It was not easy for them to come here and they were also outer sect disciples. They could not even afford to buy clothes…

Dong Xi sighed in her heart. This Sister really knew how to set up a character.

The people around them did not know whether to believe it or not, but they were just two poor girls, and they were not worth their time.

Dong Xi found a corner and sat down. Ke Xin took out two coarse-flour mantou from her storage bag. She used a lot of strength to break them open and gave half to Dong Xi.

“Sister, eat something to fill your stomach,” Ke Xin said.

Dong Xi looked at the steamed bun in her hand that did not have any spiritual energy and could not help but complain in her heart. It’s really hard on them to actually find such food in the cultivation world.

Dong Xi immediately took a bite and almost choked to death.

Ke Xin was not any better. The two of them patted each other’s backs and looked at each other with bitter smiles.

The airship flew for nearly two hours before it slowly landed in the valley.

The spiritual energy here was extremely dense, and even the plants were very tall.

The demon beasts here must be very powerful.

The person in charge of the Zhang family gathered them together and shouted, “My family has already sent people to clear out the mine. Although the large demon beasts are gone, it is inevitable that there will be some demon beasts that live underground. We still need to be careful.”

Dong Xi made a mental note. It seemed that mining for spirit stones was not that safe.

The person in charge continued, “From now on, ten percent of the spirit stones you excavate every day can be kept as wages. The rest will be handed over. If your private collection is discovered, the Zhang family will no longer hire you.”

Dong Xi did not know how the test would be carried out. After all, these people would always have other ideas. However, since the Zhang family had hired them, it meant that they had a way to test it.

Dong Xi and Ke Xin lined up to get their pickaxes, then followed the crowd to the mine.

When they passed through the cave, they could clearly feel a barrier and a fairy waiting for them inside.

“Two fairies, storage bags have been detected on you. Do you want to store them?” the Fairy said to Dong Xi and Ke Xin.

“We can’t even bring our own things?” Dong Xi frowned and said. “What if you lose it?”

The Fairy laughed. “Fairies, you can seal it yourself. Other than you, no one else can open it. We’ll also place a photostone here. If there’s any accident, we can check it at any time. Of course, this is also to distinguish between your spirit stones and the spirit stones dug out from the mine.”

Ke Xin knew how much Dong Xi had in her storage bag and looked at her worriedly.

Dong Xi immediately took out a storage bag and threw it to the fairy, saying, “Help me look after it.”

Seeing that Dong Xi had already given it to her, Ke Xin did not mind either. After all, she had already spent that little bit of spirit stones.

After storing the items, the Zhang family’s Fairy took out two storage bags and handed them to the two of them for them to put the spirit stones in.

The two of them walked to the entrance of the mine. Dong Xi stopped and asked, “Sister, which mine do you want to enter?”

“Anything is fine,” Ke Xin said. “It depends on which one you’re thinking of.”

When they were outside, their cultivation levels were not very high, so they had to be together.

“That’s easy,” said Dong Xi with a nod.

She had already learned the Eight-nine Cultivation Technique, and now she had the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Dong Xi felt that something was wrong with the left and middle caves. After eliminating them, she would definitely choose the right cave, which had less spiritual energy.

Not long after they entered, they could see spirit stones. Many people had already started digging.

Ke Xin’s eyes shone, “Sister! These are all spirit stones! I’m rich!”

Ke Xin picked up her pickaxe and charged forward. However, she could not dig out a single piece even after digging for a long time.

“Why is this thing so hard to dig out?” Ke Xin asked with a frown.

“If they’re easy to dig, why else would they give us 10 percent?” Dong Xi said with a smile. “Think about why they only hire cultivators.”

Ke Xin instantly understood what was going on.

Ke Xin attached the thin spiritual Qi in her body to the pick axe and used all her strength to chisel seven to eight times before she managed to dig out a small piece.

At first, she was overjoyed, but after that, Ke Xin felt the spiritual Qi and her expression turned ugly. “No way? So much spiritual energy?”
