"Wow!"
The moment Chen Tianyi cut off a small piece of the milky - white brick, he exclaimed in surprise and quickly flew back to Hu Ke'er's side.
"There are spirit stones here!"
"Hehe, I knew it!"
Seeing that the other side of the milky - white brick in Chen Tianyi's hand was completely red spirit stones, Hu Ke'er also curved her lips slightly.
"I cut it too shallow this time. There's a thick layer of pure spirit stones on it!"
"What?!"
Hearing Chen Tianyi's excited shout, the other workers refining spirit stones also looked in his direction.
"Wow, the other side of this white brick is all spirit stones!"
"Look, there are spirit stones on top too!"
At this moment, someone else noticed that the cut made by Chen Tianyi also revealed a whole piece of red spirit stone and exclaimed in surprise.
"Really!"
"..."
For a moment, the other workers all put down their work and curiously looked over, starting to chatter and discuss.
"What's going on! Why aren't you working properly? Do you still want your performance points?!"
Just as the refining field was in a complete mess, a majestic voice suddenly came. The commotion among the workers instantly subsided. Then Hu Ke'er saw a middle - aged man in a golden Taoist robe frowning and walking over from not far away.
"Chen Tianyi? Why is it you again? Don't come and cause trouble here. Don't think your master can always protect you. I can deal with you right now for disrupting the spirit stone refining this time!"
"Uncle Zhao, I just came to take a look."
As Chen Tianyi spoke, he hid the brick in his sleeve.
"Help? I'll thank you if you don't cause trouble. Honestly tell me what you're here for this time?"
As Uncle Zhao spoke, his eyes were also fixed on the hand where Chen Tianyi had hidden the brick.
"What did you just hide? Take it out and let me see!"
"This..."
Chen Tianyi showed a hesitant look and glanced at Hu Ke'er.
"Senior brother, just give the brick to Uncle. I've already thought of a better refining method. This brick doesn't matter much to my research."
"Brick? You kid didn't tear down the wall, did you?"
Hearing Hu Ke'er's words, Uncle Zhao frowned.
"Who would tear down your wall? I just removed the roof."
As Chen Tianyi spoke, he handed the brick to Uncle Zhao.
"Remove the roof. Do you know there's a huge magic...?"
Uncle Zhao's words stopped halfway. When he saw the brick in Chen Tianyi's hand, he was stunned.
"Is this a spirit stone?"
"Yeah."
Chen Tianyi nodded.
"Such a high - purity spirit stone?! What have you done, kid? How could you get a spirit stone with such high purity?!"
Uncle Zhao looked at Chen Tianyi in shock and excitement.
"We didn't do anything wrong!"
Hearing that Uncle Zhao's tone seemed unfriendly to Chen Tianyi, Hu Ke'er quickly stepped forward to explain.
"If you didn't do anything wrong, then where did this spirit stone come from?"
"It was just naturally formed."
As Hu Ke'er spoke, she pointed to the place where Chen Tianyi had removed a small piece of the brick and exposed the red spirit stone.
"What's that?!"
Uncle Zhao looked in the direction Hu Ke'er was pointing at. His expression couldn't hold back anymore, and he exclaimed in shock.
"Alright, we've returned the thing to you. Can we go now?"
Ignoring the shocked Uncle Zhao, Hu Ke'er grabbed Chen Tianyi and was about to leave.
"Wait, I haven't figured out what you're up to yet!"
Uncle Zhao instantly appeared in front of Hu Ke'er and blocked the two of them.
"Uncle, you've already seen it. There's a whole layer of spirit stones on the roof."
Hu Ke'er said unhappily when her way was blocked.
"How did you discover such high - purity spirit stones up there?"
Uncle Zhao's eyes rolled twice. He looked like a sly old fox.
"We just discovered it accidentally. Uncle Zhao, don't make things difficult for the new junior sister. If you have anything to say, come at me!"
As Chen Tianyi spoke, he protected Hu Ke'er behind him.
"Nephew, what are you talking about? How could I make things difficult for you? You've done a great job this time by finding such high - purity spirit stones. I just want to figure out the process so I can report your merits to the sect leader!"
Humph, he just sounds nice. He just wants to know if we have a special way to find high - purity spirit stones.
Although Hu Ke'er was a weapon researcher specializing in weapons, she had worked in the modern workplace for four or five years and had some wits.
"Well, there's no need for that. After all, senior brother and I are still junior. We don't have much influence. The credit for finding the high - purity spirit stones should naturally go to you, Uncle!"
Chen Tianyi obviously saw through Uncle Zhao's thoughts and refused first.
"After all, I'm an elder. How can I take your credit? But did you really just accidentally discover these spirit stones this time?"
Uncle Zhao knew that he couldn't get the method of discovering the spirit stones from the two of them for the time being, so he gave up the idea of forcing them to answer on the spot.
"Yeah."
Hu Ke'er nodded slightly.
"We really discovered these spirit stones by chance. I just saw the red particles on the milky - white brick that looked the same as the spirit stones and thought they were pretty, so I asked senior brother to cut a piece. I didn't expect to find spirit stones!"
"I see!"
Hearing Hu Ke'er's words, Uncle Zhao nodded.
"I'll definitely report your merits for this matter."
"No need, Uncle. If you really think we've done a good job, how about giving us some unrefined Yuan stones?"
"Unrefined Yuan stones?"
Hearing Hu Ke'er's words, Uncle Zhao was also confused.
"Yeah."
Hu Ke'er nodded.
"We don't need much. Just give us a dozen pounds."
"It's okay. You've done a great job by finding the high - purity spirit stones this time. If you want Yuan stones, it's no problem to take a hundred pounds."
"Thank you, Uncle!"
Hearing Uncle Zhao's words, Hu Ke'er curved her lips slightly.
"Senior brother, please help me carry a hundred pounds of Yuan stones!"
"Okay."
Although Chen Tianyi didn't know what Hu Ke'er was up to, the matter of the arena weapons before had made him trust Hu Ke'er very much. So he didn't say anything, just selected a hundred pounds of Yuan stones and waved his sleeve to put them away.
"Alright, Uncle. If you have nothing else to say, we'll leave?"
"Go."
Uncle Zhao waved to Hu Ke'er, and Hu Ke'er quickly grabbed Chen Tianyi and left.
"Humph, I'd like to see what you two brats are up to. Red Dragon, follow them and see what they're doing!"
Seeing the two of them walk away, Uncle Zhao waved his sleeve, and a red light drilled into the ground.
"Hehe, if I refine and absorb all these high - purity spirit stones, it'll be enough for me to break through. Hahaha..."
