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

Clear Heaven Sect, Duty Hall.

After Ji Fuyao completed her task, before she could speak, the elder smiled and said, "As per the usual, check the contribution points of Scarlet Firmament Peak, right?"

Ji Fuyao nodded.

"Excluding the 216 points you obtained from this task, Scarlet Firmament Peak has gained another four thousand points, totaling 7924 points. With this value, it can rank in the top thirty among the seventy-two peaks."

Ah?

Even though Ji Fuyao had mentally prepared herself, she was still startled.

She had thought that her junior brother might find some ore, but at most it would only be a few hundred points.

But the result!

What in the world is four thousand points?

"What did he find?" Ji Fuyao asked cautiously.

"Earth Spirit Gold!"

Ji Fuyao widened her beautiful eyes, feeling both surprised and adorable!

Although she had never been to the Jewel River Desert, she had learned about it for the sake of her tasks. There are over three hundred types of minerals there, but only a dozen or so are specialties, and Earth Spirit Gold is one of them.

Is her junior brother the beloved son of the heavens? Otherwise, why does he always receive favor?

Ji Fuyao got up and left!

"You're not taking on tasks anymore?" The elder was surprised when he saw her heading towards the door instead of the task window.

Ji Fuyao mechanically shook her head, as if she had lost her soul.

To be honest, she was devastated!

When Lu Bai reached five hundred contribution points, she still had some hope. But now, with four thousand points, even if she worked day and night, it would take her at least half a year to catch up. And Lu Bai would have to stay in place.

So, she basically has no chance of surpassing her junior brother.

When the gap is too large, people lose their motivation and choose to lie down and be lazy. Ji Fuyao is no exception.

Moreover!

Her junior brother is accumulating contribution points to let her focus on cultivation. She can't let her junior brother's efforts go to waste.

Therefore, starting today, Ji Fuyao decided to pause her tasks and return to cultivation, striving to find the opportunity for Core Formation as soon as possible.

Once she advances to Gold Core, she can take on third-level tasks.

By then, she will let her junior brother focus on cultivation.

As Ji Fuyao flew towards Scarlet Firmament Peak, her thoughts drifted, imagining Lu Bai's life in the Jewel River Desert.

Among the countless competitors with higher cultivation levels, he is cautious and diligent, searching day and night, unable to eat or sleep well. He is ragged and emaciated, pitiful!

As she thought about it, Ji Fuyao's eyes became blurred.

...

Stronghold.

Lu Bai lay on a clean and comfortable bed, eating freshly picked spirit fruits and exquisite dishes prepared by the Apex Level spirit chef. He devoured the minerals purchased from others, feeling extremely content!

He is now a wealthy person worth over fifty thousand Spirit Stones. There is no need for him to suffer. He should enjoy himself!

Although he can only withdraw all the money by going to the Duty Hall, he can still advance some funds in the stronghold.

[Ding! Detected that Ji Fuyao's affection value for the host has increased by 288 points, getting closer to lighting the second red heart!]

[Ding! Detected that Ji Fuyao's affection value for the host has increased by 366 points, getting closer to lighting the second red heart!]

[Ding! Detected that Ji Fuyao's affection value for the host has increased by 588 points, getting closer to lighting the third red heart!]

The system prompts continuously sounded.

After hearing them clearly, Lu Bai couldn't stop smiling!

"Quiet and mysterious senior sister, are you thinking of me again?"

"Why is this wave so fierce? What is she doing?"

"The second red heart has been lit up!"

Lu Bai, who was devouring minerals, immediately felt a change. The energy flowing into her body became even purer and more abundant.

...

"Senior Zhang, any gains?"

A group of people returned from outside the base, and those who were familiar greeted with a smile.

"Not bad!"

Senior Zhang's face was filled with a smile, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

"Did you find a big haul?"

"No! It's just a piece of Low Grade Fire Luminous Sand!"

Senior Zhang looked proud. At least it could be exchanged for two hundred contributions. In the army of miners, not many people had such luck.

"Hmph! What's there to show off about Low Grade Fire Luminous Sand? It's far inferior to Lu Bai." Someone was unhappy with Senior Zhang's arrogant appearance and made a sarcastic remark.

"Lu Bai?"

Senior Zhang raised an eyebrow, as if he had never heard this name before.

"Let me explain!"

The familiar person immediately recounted what had happened recently.

"Ash Scale Iron? Earth Spirit Gold?"

After listening, Senior Zhang's eyes almost popped out. He couldn't help but touch his storage bag, instantly feeling that the Fire Luminous Sand wasn't as precious anymore.

"How is this possible?"

Calming down, Senior Zhang questioned.

"Who knows!" The familiar person glanced at the inside of the base and lowered his voice. "So, he must have mastered some unique techniques!"

"Didn't you follow and observe?"

"Hmph! After finding two pieces, he stopped searching and is now hiding in the base."

"You don't know, the last time he found the Earth Spirit Gold, there was a large piece missing from the bottom, obviously cut off by a sword. We speculate that he didn't dig it all out and will definitely go back to dig again."

"Earth Spirit Gold! Just by following him, we can make a fortune."

Senior Zhang's eyes gleamed with greed. That was the color of greed.

"Let's go! Let's go ask him for his techniques!"

Everyone was stunned!

Who would be so foolish to say that?

Senior Zhang said seriously, "We belong to the same sect. Shouldn't we share with each other? If he understands the bigger picture, he should contribute! With more people, we have more strength. Searching together is also a good thing for Clear Heaven Sect!"

"That's right!"

"You're absolutely right!"

"Let's go find him!" The group of people clamored and walked inside.

In a corner, there was a man wearing a bamboo hat, only revealing the lower half of his face. It could be seen that his lips and chin were covered in stubble.

He was Bai Qinglang's attendant, Bai Qi!

Bai Qi had been searching for Lu Bai for a long time, but only now did he find out that Lu Bai was hiding in the base.

It was a good opportunity to follow this group of people and see what was going on!

The guards at the entrance, seeing that everyone was disciples of Clear Heaven Sect, didn't thoroughly inspect them and let them through.

The group of people arrived at Lu Bai's residence and shouted, "Is Junior Lu inside the house?"
