Chapter 755: The Chu Family Has a Mine!

"Hey, this isn’t an evil tree, it’s a Spirit Tree!" Cinian quickly explained. He turned and looked at the towering tree, its branches and leaves releasing dense, pure spiritual energy. His eyes filled with tears of joy.

Chu Yang was confused: "A Spirit Tree appeared overnight? This is simply unbelievable."

Nanli also looked puzzled.

Cinian continued, "Actually, this didn’t happen overnight. It seems this land had already accumulated a great deal of merit, and once the Human Emperor returned to his position, the Spirit Tree grew immediately."

Chu Yang turned to Nanli, "Sixth Sister, this must be your doing!"

Over the past two years, Nanli had solved many problems for the Mu Nation.

"I’ve only contributed a little," Nanli humbly replied.

Cinian waved his hand, laughing happily, "It’s still Second Master’s great choice! You picked such a great spot for the temple! This Spirit Tree is far more impressive than the ones in the Upper Realm. We’ll definitely progress quickly while cultivating here."

Chu Shuo began to praise Nanli again, "Actually, it’s not much of my doing. It was Sixth Sister who said these dozen or so mountain peaks had great feng shui, so I made sure to buy them."

Lu Yanyan also looked excited, "Sixth Sister, it’s clearly your achievement! If these mountains had gold or silver mines, it would be even better."

"Well, you can hope for that. These mountains stretch across a large area, with spiritual energy converging here, so it’s very possible there might be gold or silver mines," Nanli said.

"I know Sixth Sister wouldn’t deceive me, so I already sent someone to investigate," Chu Shuo raised his eyebrows.

If there really were gold mines, he would make a fortune.

Cinian was still grinning from ear to ear. He carefully examined the Spirit Tree before reporting the good news to the twelve Shans.

When the twelve Shans heard, they felt as though all their wounds had healed. They insisted on coming to take a look.

After all, the Spirit Trees in the Upper Realm were slowly weakening.

Cinian sighed, "The cultivators in the Nine States Continent are filled with hope once again." He wiped away a tear from his eye.

Nanli asked, "I wonder if Mu Nation only has this one Spirit Tree, or if there are others?"

"That’s hard to say. I’ll go check other places later," Cinian said with a serious expression. "If several Spirit Trees have grown on this land, that would not be a good thing. Cultivators from various cities in the Lower Realm will surely come here to seize territory."

As for the Upper Realm, it was unclear.

After all, times had changed. If Spirit Trees grew in other parts of the Human World, the abundant spiritual energy would soon fill the land. The Upper Realm cultivators would surely envy them.

If cultivators came to attack together, how many places could he and his disciples defend?

This was an opportunity, but also a test.

Once they confirmed the temple would be built around the Spirit Tree, they slowly made their way down the mountain.

Cinian was deep in thought, planning how to free up manpower.

However, just as they reached the foot of the mountain, a man on horseback arrived.

The man dismounted quickly and rushed to Chu Shuo’s side. "Master, I’ve found a cave with some strange stones inside. It’s not gold or silver, but they glow with a beautiful light."

He was unfamiliar with the stones and rushed to report.

Chu Shuo felt disappointed to hear it wasn’t gold or silver. "Could it be something like tourmaline?"

"It doesn’t seem like it, but the stones glow with a soft, beautiful light," the man said, pulling out a cloth bag. "I picked up some of them. Master, please take a look."

Chu Shuo took the cloth bag.

Lu Yanyan leaned over and smiled, "These stones are quite pretty. It’s the first time I’ve seen something like this. It’s so big; I wonder what kind of jewelry could be made from it."

She picked up a stone and weighed it in her hand.

It was about the size of her palm, warm to the touch, and the glow was indeed beautiful.

Cinian, along with the other two, stared in shock.

"Is... Is this an upper-grade spirit stone?!" Cinian exclaimed.

"Spirit stone?" Chu Shuo froze. "Could it be the currency used in Immortal World, as Sixth Sister mentioned?!"

Chu Yang took a closer look and gasped, "This is a perfect material for cultivation and forging."

Nanli couldn’t help but laugh. "Second Brother, you have a Spirit Mine. It’s even more valuable and useful than gold or silver mines."

With spiritual energy already present in the Human World, the cultivation craze would likely begin soon.

Chu Shuo was excited, "This is amazing! But, Fourth Brother, Sixth Sister, this mine belongs to our family. If you want to use it, just take it!"

Cinian replied, "Don’t get too excited yet. These might only be a few pieces. After all, upper-grade spirit stones are in short supply."

They decided to visit the cave.

The man led the way.

As they entered the cave, they didn’t need torches to light the way. The glow of the spirit stones made the cave as bright as daylight.

Cinian’s mouth twitched as he stood to the side, one hand pressed against the wall, the other clutching his chest.

"Zen Master, what’s wrong? You’re not getting too excited, are you?" Chu Yang stepped forward, worried that Cinian might collapse.

The man had said that the cave was large, almost like a maze, and the upper-grade spirit stones were embedded in the walls, densely packed. Just by reaching out, the cultivators could sense how many more spirit stones lay beneath.

It could be said to be inexhaustible!

What incredible wealth!

Cinian choked up, "Yes... I’m indeed excited, but more so envious and jealous!"

He suddenly turned to look at Chu Shuo and his wife. "You... You must have accumulated ten lifetimes of good deeds!"

Chu Shuo chuckled, "Zen Master, Yanyan and I aren’t cultivators. These spirit stones aren’t of much use to us. If you and your disciples need them, take as much as you want."

Cinian had been waiting for this sentence. "Really, Second Master? Then thank you."

However, Nanli and Chu Yang had already taken out new Qiankun Bags, filling them to the brim.

Yun Jianchu, who had been watching, muttered, "Nanli, you’re too lucky!"

Nanli had become immune to her muttering. She took out several more Qiankun Bags, filling them with spirit stones, and said, "Zen Master Cinian, you don’t need to bother. I’ll fill them for you."

"Thank you, thank you." Cinian held several Qiankun Bags, sniffling. "You Chu family are too generous."

Nanli and Chu Shuo exchanged a glance.

Chu Shuo cleared his throat and said, "Zen Master, you’d better think of a way to protect our Spirit Mine!"

This was their asset, and it could not be taken by other cultivators.

The guards wouldn’t be enough to stop them, so he was being so generous.

Cinian realized these spirit stones weren’t being given freely.

He sighed and said, "In that case, I’ll return to the Divine Buddha Sect, that filthy place."

"Zen Master, do you plan to bring all your disciples? Can those people be trusted?" Nanli asked.

"No, the Divine Buddha Sect has a powerful immortal artifact that can set up a Buddha Light Barrier," Cinian explained. "When Jifeng Celestial Sovereign set up the two major formation barriers, he used this artifact. Otherwise, with his power alone, he couldn’t have set up such strong and sturdy barriers."
