Chapter 120 Tianyuan Sect Went to Fusheng City for the Spirit Stone Mine

Xu Shi flew to the front of the mountain gate. When he saw Zhou Zheng, he landed on the ground.

He first exchanged some pleasantries with Zhou Zheng. He could tell that Zhou Zheng was not here because he was in trouble. That was why Xu Shi continued to chat with him.

“Kid, you still remember me. You can be considered as someone who values friendship.”

“Tell me, why are you here this time? Did you run into some difficulties? Is there anything I can help you with?”

Zhou Zheng was touched when he heard Xu Shi’s words. He did not expect that after not seeing this old senior for more than ten years, he would still take the initiative to care about him.

He was certain that he had come to the right person this time.

“Senior, I am not here to ask for your help. I am here to repay your kindness.”

“Repay my kindness?”

“What do you mean?” Xu Shi looked at the person in front of him with a playful expression.

Zhou Zheng told Xu Shi about the three high-grade spirit stones that appeared in Fusheng City at once.

Xu Shi was also a little surprised when he heard that. Three high-grade spirit stones appeared at once? According to his understanding, the number of high-grade spirit stones in Tianyuan Sect could be counted with two hands. “So, what are you trying to say?” Xu Shi didn’t understand what Zhou Zheng was trying to say, so he asked Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng looked around and then said in a low voice.

“I’m guessing that there might be a spirit stone mine in the jurisdiction of Fusheng City.”

“Spirit stone mine!” Xu Shi shouted.

Zhou Zheng, who was beside him, hurriedly signaled him to keep his voice down.

Xu Shi coughed twice and calmed down.

“Are you sure there’s a spirit stone mine? Do you know what a spirit stone mine means?”

Of course, Zhou Zheng knew what a spirit stone mine meant. If a sect owned a spirit stone mine, then the sect would either have a meteoric rise or be targeted by someone with ulterior motives, and the sect would be exterminated overnight.

This was enough to explain the rarity of a spirit stone mine.

He said to Xu Shi.

“The possibility is very high. Otherwise, how do you explain the three spirit stones appearing in Fusheng City in such a short period of time?”

Xu Shi was silent for a long time as if he was carefully considering the possibility that Zhou Zheng had mentioned.

If it was really as Zhou Zheng had said, then not only could he use this matter to exchange for the safety of his wife and children, but he could also receive the attention of the sect.

When that time came, would he still need to work for the sect? He would just have to cross his legs and wait for someone to serve him.

Thus, he said to Zhou Zheng.

“Go to my residence first, and then tell me in detail about these three high-grade spirit stones that you know of.”

Zhou Zheng followed Xu Shi to his residence in the sect. Xu Shi was the only one who lived in this room. After his family members were placed under house arrest, they were all arranged to different places within the sect, not to mention meeting them.

He could not even get close to them. If it was not for his origin core realm cultivation that was still useful to the Tianyuan Sect, his family members would have been dragged out and killed long ago. After that, Zhou Zheng recounted what he had said earlier in greater detail.

Xu Shi patted Zhou Zheng’s shoulder.

“I will go and report to the sect master directly. We have to see how the sect master will react first. If it is really as we have guessed in the end.”

“It’s not just me. When the time comes, you brat, just wait to enjoy your life.”

After saying that, he asked Zhou Zheng to stay in his room while he went to find the sect master himself.

Xu Shi arrived at Tianyuan Sect’s sect master’s room. He asked the guards to go in and deliver the message. After entering the room, he began to talk to Liu Fang.

“What? A spirit stone mine!”

The Tianyuan Sect’s sect master was so excited that he almost shouted.

Xu Shi was indeed an experienced person. It was clearly Zhou Zheng who brought the news, but Xu Shi did not mention Zhou Zheng at all. All the credit went to him.

After a short moment of shock, Liu Fang immediately laughed heartily.

“Well done, Xu Shi. I knew I didn’t misjudge you. You are indeed the pillar of our sect.”

At this moment, Xu Shi only felt that this sect master in front of him was hypocritical. Every time the sect had conflicts with other forces, he would always be the one pushed to the front.

Just because he was easy to order around, and he didn’t need to sacrifice.

Of course, he certainly didn’t dare to say these words in front of Liu Fang. He struck while the iron was hot and said to Liu Fang with a smile.

“Then sect master, about my family…”

Liu Fang waved his hand and said.

“If the matter is true, your little matter is nothing. Don’t worry, your family’s quality of life in the sect is pretty good. Now they are living even more comfortably than you.”

When Xu Shi heard this, his face lit up with joy.

“Then sect master, why don’t we send someone to investigate first?”

Liu Fang nodded.

“Why don’t we leave this matter to you. Then, I’ll write you a warrant. You can take this and find Feng Qingye. The two of you will go together.”

After hearing this, Xu Shi was secretly relieved. He could guess that Liu Fang would want to send him to investigate this matter.

However, he only had the cultivation at the origin core realm. Although Fusheng City was small, it wasn’t like there weren’t any origin core realm cultivators in the city.

And the Feng Qingye that Liu Fang mentioned, besides being an elder who had stayed in the sect for a long time, was also a mighty figure in the nascent soul realm.

Feng Qingye followed Liu Fang’s orders obediently as Liu Fang was said to be his savior.

Therefore, with Feng Qingye accompanying Xu Shi, he wouldn’t have too many worries on this trip.

Holding the warrant given by Liu Fang, Xu Shi immediately went to find Feng Qingye. “What do you want?”

Feng Qingye looked Xu Shi up and down and asked.

Xu Shi explained the mission to Feng Qingye. At first, he did not believe it because, in Feng Qingye’s eyes, a person like Xu Shi was only fit to be the scapegoat for Tianyuan Sect.

It was not until Xu Shi took out the token in his hand that Feng Qingye’s attitude towards him eased up.

Xu Shi brought Feng Qingye back to his residence and brought Zhou Zheng with him.

The three of them didn’t stop for a moment and headed directly towards Fusheng City.

On the way, Feng Qingye asked Xu Shi.

“What’s the point of bringing this core building realm cultivator burden with us for our sect’s mission?”

Xu Shi pulled Feng Qingye aside and whispered to him.

“This is my spy in Fusheng City. Most of the information about this matter was provided by my spy.”

Feng Qingye nodded as if he understood.

Then, he asked Xu Shi.

“For our trip to Fusheng City, how do you plan to start the investigation?”

Xu Shi thought for a moment and then analyzed.

“If there really is a mine, it should have already been occupied by someone. Otherwise, why would there be so many spirit stones?”

“Then, we’ll start with investigating the Hundred Treasures House. As long as we can find out who the person who auctioned the high-grade spirit stone is, it shouldn’t be too difficult to follow the clues.”

Feng Qingye frowned and said.

“An auction house like the Hundred Treasures House usually won’t reveal the owner’s information, right? Why wouldn’t it be too difficult like what you said?” Xu Shi smiled meaningfully.

“This is why the sect master wants you to come with me. If bribery doesn’t work, we can threaten them.”

Feng Qingye only responded with an “oh” with a calm expression, as if he was already used to this kind of thing.

Xu Shi turned around and said to Zhou Zheng.

“Since we are in a hurry, I’ll fly you. Our first target of this trip is Fusheng City’s Hundred Treasures House!”
