Chapter 2232: Chapter 1934: People of the Holy Land

Seeing no pursuit from behind, Morris slowed his pace and shouted, "Everyone don’t worry, it seems they didn’t follow us."

Li Huanxin, with a panicked expression, kept running madly, shouting, "Don’t stop, let’s enter the mine first."

The Nephrite Jade Mine was not far away, and they quickly reached the entrance.

The entrance was camouflaged, making it hard to notice even up close.

Wang Ling took out a remote control and pressed the button, the ground rumbled open, revealing a lift.

The lift was large enough that even with eight people standing on it, it didn’t feel crowded.

After everyone was on the lift, they looked back and saw that the group that had suddenly appeared earlier was standing outside the building, looking in this direction but not moving.

The group stared in this direction for a while before returning to their cars, and eight Jeeps kicked up clouds of yellow dust as they gradually drove away.

Seeing them leave, Maisy Lin breathed heavily for the first time, her ample chest heaving, and she glared at Li Huanxin, saying irritably, "Li Huanxin, didn’t you say earlier that there was only one murderer? Why did so many people suddenly show up?"

"How would I know why suddenly there are so many people?" Li Huanxin said with a frustrated expression, turning to Wang Ling, "Mr. Wang, start the lift, let’s go down and have a look."

Wang Ling glanced at the departing convoy of Jeeps, paused, and then pressed the lift’s button.

The lift slowly descended, and the eight entered the Nephrite Jade Mine.

This mine had not been exploited yet, only a rough framework had been built to prevent collapse.

Upon entering the mine, Song Yun clearly sensed that some stones around contained spiritual energy, indicating the presence of Nephrite Jade.

He observed that the reserves of Nephrite Jade here were very rich, no wonder Wang Ling valued it so much.

If the spiritual energy in the jade weren’t so hard to absorb, Song Yun might have considered buying the mine directly from Wang Ling.

Though the jade contained spiritual energy, it had too many impurities and wasn’t concentrated enough; once leaked, it would thin out immediately, making absorption difficult.

If the spiritual energy could be concentrated to a certain degree and purified, then such jade would definitely be great for assisting cultivation.

Unfortunately, even the supreme imperial green glass type Song Yun had unearthed earlier was far from pure and concentrated in terms of spiritual energy content.

"Spirit Stone, perhaps only the Spirit Stone recorded in ’Yin Xi’s Manual’ could possess such dense spiritual energy."

Upon thinking this, Song Yun couldn’t help but shake his head, doubting that Spirit Stones existed on Earth.

If they did, even the people of Taoyuan would surely want them.

After all, even the worst First-grade Spirit Stone was useful to higher realm experts, let alone now for him.

Once off the lift, Wang Ling took out a map and handed it to Li Huanxin, saying, "Mr. Li, this is the mine map, where do you want to start investigating?"

Li Huanxin looked at the map in his hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "We can’t overlook any place here. Let’s go, follow me."

"Wang Ling, wait a moment." Song Yun stopped Wang Ling, who was about to follow Li Huanxin, and said, "Where is that flower located? I’ll go get the flower first and then come find you."

Li Huanxin said coldly, "Kid, I think you’re scared and want to sneak off first, huh."

Morris shook his head, "I knew this young man couldn’t be relied upon."

Oro stroked his plump chin silently, but his eyes were full of sarcasm.

Wang Ling frowned, pulled Song Yun aside, and said sternly, "Is the flower really that important to you?"

"Yes." Song Yun nodded.

Wang Ling paused, his eyes showing expectation, hesitated, and then said, "The flower is there, it won’t disappear. Accompany me to investigate the mine first, we’ll pass by the flower’s location later, and then you can go pick it. Is that okay?"

From Wang Ling’s eyes, Song Yun saw a look of panic and asked, "Are you afraid?"

Wang Ling nodded and whispered, "You being by my side... gives me a sense of safety."

Upon hearing this, Song Yun smiled and said, "Alright, I’ll accompany you."

"Thank you." Wang Ling gratefully said, with a relieved smile on his face, and said to everyone, "Let’s go."

Seeing Song Yun change his mind, Li Huanxin pursed his lips, "Hmph, it’s always effective when a beauty steps in."

The group advanced in a circular fashion within the Nephrite Jade Mine following the map.

Along the way, Li Huanxin continued to inspect various clues.

Qingxu and Qing Nian took out the compass again, watching the spinning pointer, occasionally revealing tense expressions.

"There’s something strange about this mine."

Song Yun thought to himself, noticing that besides the faint spiritual energy emitted by the Nephrite Jade, there was also a faintly discernible Yin Sha energy.

These energies were very weak, like emanating from the ground beneath.

"A cursed place, could it be related to what those people said? Has this place been cursed?"

Song Yun contemplated, increasingly suspicious of this place.

The others didn’t have such high perception levels and didn’t notice the Yin Sha energy, but judging by Qingxu and Qing Nian’s expressions, they seemed to sense something amiss as well.

Passing through a narrow area, Wang Ling pointed to the corner ahead, with delight, "Song Yun, up ahead is where the flower is located."

Song Yun’s eyes lit up, nodded, and quickened his pace.

The Nine-Orifice Purple Luo Flower was now his only hope to save Ning Sister.
