Super Rich Fantasy: I Grow Stronger By Spending Money - Chapter 262

262 All Thrown to the Mine

Not long after Ye Xuan stepped into the forest, Qian Yuan also received the news and brought him a few small surprises.

He looked at the dozen or so cultivators lying unconscious on the ground beside Qian Yuan. The aura they exuded was not weak, but who asked them to face Qian Yuan? Dealing with them was a piece of cake with just one Dragon Breath.

“I saw a few little tails behind you, so I’ll take care of them as well. They’re giving off the same disgusting aura.”

Qian Yuan didn’t hide his disdain for the people on the ground at all, but his attitude towards Ye Xuan was completely different.

“I was planning to take care of it myself, but I didn’t expect you to be half a step ahead of me. By the way, how are the people from Jingdu?”

!!
Ye Xuan didn’t forget the purpose of his visit. Those people from Jingdu were ridiculous. They were the ones who asked him for help, yet they didn’t trust him and even tried to monitor him.

They didn’t even use their brains to think. These people had no other use except to alert the enemy.

Qian Yuan revealed a mysterious smile. “You’ll know if you go over and take a look. They’re doing what they like right now.”

Seeing his expression, Ye Xuan was a little confused. He didn’t know what Qian Yuan was up to. He raised his eyebrows and said, “Do what they like?”

Although Qian Yuan was friendly to him, he was still hostile towards other humans. Ye Xuan had reminded him before to keep the people from Jingdu alive. After all, he didn’t want them to do anything in desperation.

So he told Qian Yuan to punish these people, but not to kill them. Ye Xuan knew that Qian Yuan knew what he was doing, so he was more at ease. Now that he heard these words, it seemed that there was a deeper meaning.

Qian Yuan brought Ye Xuan further into the forest. Soon enough, he began to hear clanking sounds from not far away. It appeared to be the sound of a hammer hitting something heavy.

The sounds were faintly discernible, floating in the depths of the forest. It was particularly melodious and quiet, occasionally mixed with a few painful gasps. It was inexplicably strange.

Fortunately, they were in the depths of the forest, so few people came here. In fact, almost no one had set foot in this place. Although the weeds that were half a person tall had been mostly cleared, they still blocked his vision. There were also paths that were faintly trodden by footprints.

“If I remember correctly, there should be a spiritual mine here.”

This spiritual mine had already been classified as the territory of demonic beasts, and humans were not allowed to set foot here. If Ye Xuan’s guess was correct, the commotion just now was caused by mining, but how could there be humans here?

“You see.”

Qian Yuan waved his hands, and the weeds in front of him automatically moved to the side. It was as if a pair of invisible hands were opening a path for Ye Xuan, and he could finally see the scene in front of him.

The area in front of them was bustling with activity, and all of them were human cultivators. However, they weren’t using any spiritual power or spells – they were mining in the most primitive way.

Large beads of sweat rolled down from their foreheads, and the back of their clothes were completely soaked with sweat, as if they had been fished out of water. The originally spotless clothes had also become dusty, and these people no longer had the sage-like appearance they had when they first arrived.

With their dusty and dirty Faces, it was as if they had just escaped from a disaster. Even if the people from their own sects were here, they might not be able to recognize them.

Among them, there were a few big demons holding special whips in their hands. They whipped the ground continuously, creating terrifying cracking sounds that deterred anyone from slacking.

“Hurry up and mine. Don’t you like these spiritual stone mines the most? Then mine for me!”

“As long as you don’t die, dig deeper!”

It was as if the whips had eyes. Whenever someone moved slowly or made some other secretive movements, they would land on them.

The whip was specially made. Although it couldn’t cause any substantial damage, it would cause unbearable pain when it hit the skin. It was as if ten thousand ants were piercing the heart. It was simply unbearable.

Ye Xuan was dumbfounded. “This…”

These people were all from the large sects of Jingdu. All of them were powerful grand elders or characters on the level of elders. In short, they were all of high positions and great power, but now they had become dirty miners.

Such a stark difference was simply unimaginable. Even Ye Xuan was shocked, and he could no longer see any remnants of their once mighty demeanor.

Any one of these people was a famous figure. Not to mention their many achievements, just their unfathomable cultivation levels were enough to make anyone respect them.

“How could this be?”

Looking at the numb expressions on their faces, it seemed like they had been working like this for quite a while.

“They got lost in the array I set up earlier and I defeated them one by one. In the end, I sealed all of their spiritual powers and left them here to mine.”

If these people attacked together, they might cause some trouble for Qian Yuan. After all, even ants could bite an elephant to death.

However, they were trapped in the array and ended up like fish on an anvil, waiting to be slaughtered. Then they were thrown here.

“In any case, don’t they like spiritual mines and can’t wait to mine as many as possible? Then let them experience it themselves and see how spiritual mines are mined.”

Even Ye Xuan had a look of admiration on his face after hearing this. He had to admit that this move was really amazing. He couldn’t help but smile mischievously. “It’s a good thing you could think of such a nasty move.”

Qian Yuan kept his promise. He didn’t harm their lives but still let them receive the punishment they deserved.

Although they were powerful, they were used to being pampered. Now that their spiritual powers were sealed, they were just like ordinary people. Not only were they enslaved by the demon beasts, but they also had to work at the spiritual mine here. It was easy to imagine how bad their mood was.
