Beauty and the Bodyguard

Everyone was gulping at the sight of the huge chest of spiritual jades, including Xin Yijie, who'd known all along that Lin Yi was rich. He couldn't help but be dumbfounded again, and even the expressionless Bing Wuqing was moved by it. He wasn't an ordinary disciple who'd never seen the world before, but even he was shocked by Lin Yi's generosity.

"This person is indeed not simple." Bing Wuqing couldn't help but take another look at Lin Yi. This was the first time she had met Lin Yi ever since they had left the ancient Alliance. Before this, she had only heard of his name because of Leng Leng. The only person she truly hated and feared was Lin Dongfang. As for Lin Yi, he didn't mean much in her eyes. To be more precise, he didn't have much of a presence.

But from this moment on, Lin Yi did have some status in his eyes. Everything else aside, just taking out so many spirit jades at once was already impressive in itself-this was a display of strength.

Of course, he only had a bit of status. Not to mention that he was now a late jiedan stage master, even if he was originally an early jiedan stage master, he would not really put a perfected Foundation establishment master in his eyes. At most, he was just a stronger ant.

"Since that's the case, there shouldn't be any more objections, right?" Xin Yijie said to Xue Jianfeng.

Everyone was looking at him as if he was a joke. Xue Jianfeng's face turned red. He wanted to continue to make things difficult for him, but the large box of spiritual jades was too eye-catching. Money can make the ghost turn the millstone. What nonsense could he say in such a situation?

"Very good. Next, I'll announce the grouping list. In the afternoon, the first group will begin mining, and the second group will be changed three days later. Since there are no objections, let's do it." Xin Yijie announced.

On paper, Lin Yi and the others were in the same group as the other disciples of the green cloud sect, but Lingshan and Chentian had used their chests of spirit Jade to apply for leave.

A moment later, Xin Yijie was about to bring the first group to the spirit mine when he turned around and was stunned.""Martial granduncle, are you also going down?"

"I don't have anything to do anyway, so I'll go down with you guys to take a look." Lin Yi nodded. He might look like he didn't care, but he was actually quite concerned about this spirit mine. After all, the ancient Alliance wouldn't be staying here for too long, and once they finished their training in the common world, this spirit mine would be ownerless. He could let song Lingshan organize people to continue mining.

Of course, there was a condition-the quality of the spirit mines had to be high enough. If it was a waste mine that couldn't even get a few pieces of spirit Jade in ten days or half a month, then it was completely useless. After all, Lin Yi didn't lack spirit Jade.

"Oh, I know." Xin Yijie immediately understood Lin Yi's intentions-he'd rather keep the mine to himself than let an outsider have it.

Lin Yi only smiled faintly, not explaining.

The islands were not deep in the sea, and the undersea spirit mine was almost on the extension of one of the small islands. The depth was only about ten meters. If there was diving equipment, this depth was not difficult for ordinary people, not to mention these powerful cultivators.

Of course, Xin Yijie wasn't going to provide them with any diving equipment, only some basic mining tools, so they had to rely on themselves to breathe. Although this seemed a little troublesome, it wasn't a difficult problem to overcome. Cultivators had long breaths, so as long as they mastered the underwater breathing technique, they could stay underwater for a long time.

Under Xin Yijie's lead, everyone dove into the sea and arrived at the spirit mine. Lin Yi looked around and was disappointed.

"From the looks of it, even if it's not a waste mine, I'm afraid it's not far from it." Lin Yi shook his head. He hadn't started digging yet, but he had the mining experience from the Beidao days. It wasn't hard to tell the good from the bad.

Judging from the spiritual Qi density of this underwater spirit mine, a person could get two or three spiritual jades a day if they were lucky. Otherwise, they probably wouldn't even be able to get one. This wasn't too bad for the other disciples who had to do voluntary labor, but it wasn't worth much in Lin Yi's eyes.

After saying goodbye to Xin Yijie, Lin Yi was ready to leave. He went to a place where there was no one around and habitually transformed into his spirit form. This was the most important thing he'd been training in the past few months-not only could it increase his combat power right now, but it'd also help him master all sorts of spirit techniques when he returned to Sky Class Island. It was killing two birds with one stone.

However, as soon as he returned to the surface, he saw Xue Jianfeng and another person slacking off while taking a breath. But Lin Yi was in his soul form now, and as long as he was careful, normal people wouldn't be able to find him under the cover of the water, even an early golden core Master like Xue Jianfeng.

"Brother Qin Yuan, have you considered the matter I told you about last time?" Xue Jianfeng asked. The two had chosen the most remote place on purpose, and they were the only two breathing in a hundred meters radius. With his early gold core senses, they didn't have to worry about people eavesdropping on them, not knowing that Lin Yi was floating right behind their heads.

"This ..." The other person hesitated and did not answer.

Qin Yuan? Lin Yi was taken aback by the name-he didn't recognize him before, but he had some impression of the name. This man was a training disciple of the Qingyun sect, a late-Foundation Stage. He'd seen him a few times, but they'd never spoken.

However, since Qin Yuan was a disciple of the Qingyun school on the North Island, with the current tense relationship between Xue Jianfeng and the Qingyun school on the North Island, why would this guy still be with Xue Jianfeng?

It was only a moment of confusion before Lin Yi quickly understood. It was most likely that Xue Jianfeng wanted to secretly rope in Qin Yuan for central. With the convenience of cultivating primordial spirit techniques, Lin Yi had been monitoring the professor and the others 'every move almost every day. Naturally, he knew their every move like the back of his hand.

Even the ancient five elements sect's can long and the thousand blades sect's Jing Yueming were on Lin Yi's list of important targets. He didn't plan on provoking central yet, but he had to at least have a list just in case.

As expected, Xue Jianfeng was trying to win Qin Yuan over. Logically speaking, the best people to win over should be the fellow disciples who were on good terms with him. Unfortunately, Xue Jianfeng was always arrogant. Although there were many disciples who flattered him, there were almost no real friends with him. None of them were on his list. (To be continued.)
