Xiaojin explained, "You were in the Mandala Valley before. There was no need for crystal mines there, and there weren't any large - scale ones either. There were only relatively small amounts of crystals, and they were all in the hands of Lord Chu. After we left the Mandala Valley, I never got the chance to look for crystal mines."
Feng Yuqin understood when she heard this. "So you're saying that you only activated your skill of finding crystal mines when we were in the Mandala Valley?"
Xiaojin nodded. "Right! It was after you leveled up. My abilities improved, and of course, my treasure - hunting skills would improve as well."
So there was no problem for him to help his master find crystal mines now.
Feng Yuqin said, "Crystal mines must be really hard to find. Otherwise, Situ Yue wouldn't be so arrogant, and Zuo Ziyang wouldn't have given up on the auction so reluctantly."
"Indeed, they're not easy to find," Xiaojin nodded. "That's why I didn't activate this skill for so many years before. Or maybe I did activate it, but I was trapped in the Tianyuan Continent for too long and forgot about it. As my injuries gradually recovered, all my skills are also coming back."
Feng Yuqin couldn't wait to take Xiaojin to find crystal mines right away. "Where should we go to look for crystal mines?"
"I have to temporarily put aside the matter of the medicine field and have a good sense of it before I can tell," Xiaojin said. Most of his energy was focused on the medicine field.
Actually, taking care of the medicine field also consumed his energy.
After all, some spiritual herbs needed careful attention at each stage.
Feng Yuqin saw Situ Yue outside raising the price arrogantly, not caring about the crystals at all. She thought it would be quite nice to be such a nouveau - riche and wanted to give it a try. "The medicine field can be taken care of by Xiaoying for the time being. You should help me sense where there are crystal mines in the Wild Dragon Continent."
The spiritual pets were speechless when they sensed Feng Yuqin's thoughts.
Xiaoying said helplessly, "Master, can you be a bit more ambitious? There are so many pills and spiritual herbs in your space. If you take them out, all the crystals in the entire Wild Dragon Continent will flow into your pocket."
Feng Yuqin said, "It's not the same! If I take out all these things, I'll be targeted."
Xiaoying said, "When your Dark Night Pavilion is established, ask the lord to arrange some experts and set up a formation. The Dark Night Pavilion can continuously sell pills, and the crystals will flow into it continuously."
Feng Yuqin rolled her eyes ungraciously. "It's not the same! Moreover, I have great faith in Xiaojin's treasure - hunting skills. I believe the crystal mines he finds won't be bad."
Seeing that his master had so much confidence in him, Xiaojin said with a big smile, "Don't worry, master. I won't let you down."
Feng Yuqin looked curiously at Situ Yue in the opposite private room and said, "I wonder what kind of crystal mine the Situ family has."
Xiaojin said, "I can help you sense it later."
Feng Yuqin suddenly felt so lucky.
She had Xiaojin, who could hunt for treasures, and Xiaoying, who was good at fighting.
Moreover, as Xiaoying's strength increased, ordinary demonic beasts would tremble in fear when they sensed his aura.
Hun Bing was even more powerful. He could read minds and launch spiritual attacks.
None of her three spiritual pets could be underestimated.
If the skills of her spiritual pets were exposed, she would not only be hunted down across the entire Wild Dragon Continent but also be targeted by people from higher realms.
Just thinking about it made Feng Yuqin shiver involuntarily.
It was too terrifying. She must keep her spiritual pets well - hidden.
She mustn't let others discover them.
Xie Chen noticed Feng Yuqin's uneasiness and asked with concern, "Madam Mo, what's wrong?"
Feng Yuqin came back to her senses and waved her hand casually. "I'm fine."
After she said that, she noticed that the auction outside had stopped for a while. She couldn't help but ask, "What's the current price outside?"
Xie Chen said, "Situ Yue bid 14.5 million. She's only 500,000 short of 15 million. But Mu Weizhu has been hesitating. I haven't heard her voice. I guess she thinks the price is a bit too high for her to afford."
Feng Yuqin nodded to show that she understood.
Logically speaking, Mu Weizhu should have been unable to continue at 10 million.
The demons were willing to give Mu Weizhu some crystals, so she could continue to compete with Situ Yue in the auction.
But now the price had been bid so high.
Mu Weizhu definitely didn't dare to bid easily.
After all, it wasn't easy to owe the demons a favor.
Mu Weizhu was, of course, aware of this.
That's why she was hesitating whether to continue raising the price for a single pill.
Actually, it wasn't just about a pill now. Situ Yue clearly wanted to make things difficult for Mu Weizhu.
Mu Weizhu was really furious today.
First, Feng Yuqin outbid her.
Then Zuo Ziyang appeared, forcing her to bid a high price for a spiritual herb.
Now it was Situ Yue.
Thinking of this, Mu Weizhu's aura became even colder.
The elders beside her didn't dare to say a word.
They weren't stupid. They knew that Mu Weizhu was extremely dangerous at the moment.
Whoever was so foolish as to provoke her really didn't want to live.
So when Mu Weizhu didn't raise the price, they just waited silently beside her.
The host waited for a while, but Mu Weizhu still didn't continue to bid. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "14.5 million for the first time, 14.5 million for the second time, 14.5 million for the thi..."
"14.6 million," Mu Weizhu's voice sounded at the last moment.
But everyone in the audience could hear the suppressed anger in Mu Weizhu's voice.
Situ Yue either didn't notice or didn't care. When she heard Mu Weizhu's bid, she spoke.
However, her bid made Mu Weizhu so angry that she wanted to kill someone.
"15 million," Situ Yue's bid jumped by 400,000.
Everyone gasped when they heard the price.
"Sure enough, it's a family with a crystal mine. Their financial strength is beyond ordinary people," someone said.
"I also hope that one day I can bid so boldly at an auction," another person said.
"Stop daydreaming. Do you think it's easy to get a crystal mine?" someone else retorted.
"Yeah, our families only have small crystal piles. They have a mine. Do you know what a mine is? It has to be as large as a mountain to be called a mine."
"What if one day I really come across a mountain and it just happens to be a crystal mine? One should always have hope," someone said optimistically.
Another person said, "Such hope is too slim. It's better to focus on cultivation."
Xie Chen was so excited that he spun around in place a few times when he heard the price. Then he walked up to Feng Yuqin and said, "Madam Mo, your pill has been bid up to 15 million by Situ Yue."
