After Flirting, He Ran Away And Was Chased By A Witch At The Beginning.

So many iron nuggets?

Lu Bai was shocked!

He took out the gold-seeking plate again.

Impressive!

There was no reaction when it was placed on top.

This material is called Grey Scale Iron. Among the over 300 items in the Jewel River Desert, its value ranks in the middle. A fist-sized piece can be exchanged for ten Low Grade Spirit Stones.

Lu Bai estimated that this pile under his feet should be worth hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones!

He was considering whether to sell it in the market or exchange it for contribution points.

In the end, Lu Bai decided to exchange it for contribution points.

Because contribution points not only represent wealth, but their hidden value is the most important.

Pupupu!

Lu Bai covered the soil and then took out a communication jade talisman to send a message to his second senior brother.

It shouldn't be too far, right?

After sending the message, Lu Bai found a hidden spot and waited while practicing. With his second senior brother's speed, he should arrive in half a day.

An hour later.

There was some movement in the distance. Lu Bai thought it was his second senior brother coming! But unexpectedly, it was a group of strangers.

They were holding gold-seeking plates and searching everywhere.

Seeing this scene, Lu Bai thought they were particularly foolish.

Oops! Can't use that word, after all, he used to be just like them.

As the group approached, Lu Bai became a little nervous.

Although the gold-seeking plate was useless, what if they had other means to discover the Grey Scale Iron mine? It was not easy to find one, so he couldn't let others benefit from it.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The group arrived above the iron mine, and one of them said, "Senior brother, there are signs of disturbance here!"

Lu Bai couldn't help but clench his fist!

"So what? There are signs of disturbance everywhere in the Jewel River Desert. What does that represent?" The senior brother sneered.

"That's true!" The person scratched his head.

Then, the group stared at the gold-seeking plate and searched in the distance, gradually disappearing.

Lu Bai breathed a sigh of relief!

If a conflict really broke out, he would probably not be a match.

Because the other side had more people and their cultivation levels were higher than his. He only had a chance with a critical hit.

Two more hours passed.

A golden light appeared in the distance, rushing over like a shooting star and arriving in the blink of an eye.

"Xiao Bai!" Lin Mu looked towards Lu Bai's hiding place.

Lu Bai jumped out with a "whoosh" and said happily, "Second senior brother, you finally came!"

"Who is this?"

He saw a middle-aged man standing next to Lin Mu.

"He is Pei Changyong, the manager." Lin Mu smiled and said, "After receiving your message, I knew you found the ore deposit, so I brought Manager Pei along to save time."

"You're amazing! It's only been a few days, and you've made some gains! Qingyue has been here for half a month and still has nothing. She even brought a Spirit Cat, but she can't beat you with just your bare fists!"

"Second senior brother, you're exaggerating! How could I beat Senior Sister Hang!" Lu Bai humbly replied.

"Let's take a look at the goods first!"

Pei Changyong looked around. With his experience, it should be difficult to have any output here.

This kid wouldn't have randomly found something and made him come all the way, right?

"Alright!"

Lu Bai led the two of them to the hiding place of the Grey Scale Iron and took out tools to prepare for excavation.

"Step aside."

After Lin Mu finished speaking, he reached out his big hand and suddenly lifted it up. The loosely covered soil on top was all cleared away.

Lu Bai was secretly shocked. It seemed that a Gold Core expert's breath should be stronger than his Critical Hit!

Pei Changyong looked at the large pit and his eyes lit up.

A big piece of Grey Scale Iron!

He jumped down, touched and patted it, seemingly verifying its quality.

After a long time, he returned to the surface with a smile and said, "This piece of Grey Scale Iron is excellent in both size and quality! According to my calculations, it can be rewarded with three thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones and 487 contribution points!"

Lu Bai's eyes sparkled!

Spirit Stone is secondary, it's the 487 contribution points that matter!

This unexpected fortune has come to me like this?

The last time I took on the task of healing in Songhe Country, I initially only had 3 contribution points. Later, it was defined as the Evil Cultivator incident, and it only increased to 50 points. There is no comparison with this ugly and worthless piece of iron.

He secretly rejoiced that he didn't choose to swallow it!

"Pei Guanshi, you have always been an open-minded person, can't you just round it up to 500 points?" Lin Mu said.

Pei Changyong hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "Alright! Consider it as encouraging the younger generation!"

"Thank you, Pei Guanshi! Thank you, Second Senior Brother!" Lu Bai was very grateful and immediately expressed his thanks.

Pei Changyong waved his hand and put the Grey Scale Iron into a storage ring.

"The contribution points will be immediately credited to your personal account and Scarlet Firmament Peak. As for the Spirit Stone, you will have to go to the Duty Hall to collect it after returning to the sect."

"Understood!" Lu Bai nodded.

"Pei Guanshi, you can go ahead. I'll give some instructions to Junior Brother," Lin Mu said.

"Alright!" Pei Changyong returned along the same path.

After Pei Changyong left, Lin Mu took out a storage ring and handed it to Lu Bai.

"Ah!"

Lu Bai was stunned by this huge surprise, feeling dizzy. Second Senior Brother was too generous!

"Don't misunderstand! I'm just lending it to you temporarily. Once we find a mine, we can put it back and settle it at the base."

Uh... what a waste of expression!

Lu Bai took it with a pout.

He thought, once it's in my hands, do you think you can take it back?

He used his divine sense to explore it and found that the space inside the storage ring was several times larger than a storage bag. It wouldn't be a problem to store three to five pieces of Grey Scale Iron like before.

"Keep up the good work! The contribution points of our Scarlet Firmament Peak this year rely on you!" Lin Mu encouraged Lu Bai before leaving.

Lu Bai raised his middle finger at his back!

...

After seeing off Second Senior Brother, Lu Bai had to start working again.

He recalled the scene when he found the Grey Scale Iron before. It could be said that the Devour skill played a big role.

If it weren't for the faint energy coming from below, he wouldn't have dug down at all.

So, can the Devour skill be used to find mines?

To find out if there are any treasures underground, just absorb a bit!

Of course!

This was just Lu Bai's speculation, and it still needed more confirmation. What if that time was just a coincidence?

So, Lu Bai flew a distance and then landed to try absorbing.

Nothing!

Continue forward.

Nothing!

Still nothing!

Hmm?

It seems like something this time!

Lu Bai's face brightened, and he quickly dug down.

Just one zhang deep, he unearthed something resembling a red agate.

It was a bit small, but it at least verified one thing: his Devour skill could indeed find mines.

Isn't that great?

Lu Bai suddenly became full of enthusiasm!

In this way, he walked and absorbed, and found some items.

Unfortunately, the quantity was very small and not worth turning in.

Lu Bai thought, am I becoming a treasure-hunting Spirit Beast?

No!

I'm more useful than those things!

Ha! What am I comparing myself to those things for?

He remembered a joke from his previous life: Don't compare yourself to animals! If you win, you're worse than an animal! If you lose, you're not as good as an animal!

...

Clear Heaven Sect, Duty Hall.

Ji Fuyao came to submit a task again.

Out of habit, after completing the task, she asked the elder, "How many contribution points does Scarlet Firmament Peak have?"

"Just a moment, let me check for you," the elder said.
