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

Lu Bai was practicing when suddenly he heard someone calling him from outside.

His eyebrows furrowed!

Second Senior Brother went with Green Tea to look for minerals, and he doesn't know anyone else. Who could be looking for him?

With doubts in his mind, Lu Bai opened the door.

He was immediately startled by the situation outside.

So many people?

"Junior Brother Lu, this is Senior Brother Zhang Yun. After hearing about your miraculous mining achievements, we greatly admire you and would like to chat with you."

Everyone pushed Zhang Yun forward.

Clearly, they wanted him to take the lead!

Zhang Yun glanced at Lu Bai and smiled, "Junior Brother Lu, can you share your mining techniques with us?"

Everyone was shocked!

Isn't this too direct?

Lu Bai was stunned!

Then he couldn't help but laugh!

So these people came for this.

Does he have any techniques?

Of course he does!

The Devour skill!

But this kind of technique obviously cannot be passed on to others.

On second thought!

Even if he could, why would he pass it on to others?

He is willing to share ordinary knowledge and experience, but core things are kept hidden by everyone, right?

Mineral deposits are limited!

To put it bluntly, everyone is a competitor. If you dig more, others will have less.

"No!" Lu Bai shook his head.

Since the other party was so direct, he didn't beat around the bush either.

"Why?"

"No reason."

Zhang Yun's face gradually turned dark. The other party didn't give him any face at all!

At this moment, Pei Changyong heard the commotion and walked out of the settlement hall, curiously observing the situation.

Zhang Yun immediately straightened his chest and said with righteous indignation, "Junior Brother Lu, this is not right."

"We are all fellow disciples and should share our strengths. If you share your techniques, we can work together to uncover all the mineral deposits in the Jewel River Desert, not leaving anything for the Jade Incense Sect and Frost Moon Sword Sect. In this way, Clear Heaven Sect will surely surpass those two sects in the future."

"Do you not want the sect to become better?"

After Zhang Yun finished speaking, he glanced at Pei Changyong, who looked pleased!

"What is your relationship with Wang Dong?" Lu Bai suddenly asked.

Zhang Yun looked puzzled! I'm talking to you about mining techniques, why are you bringing up Wang Dong?

"No relationship!"

"Then why are you as shameless as him?"

"You!"

"Wang Dong just wanted to take my fish, but you, you directly tore my net! And you even use the name of the sect, saying some high-sounding reasons to morally blackmail me. You are really shameless!"

Huffing and puffing!

In front of so many people, Zhang Yun was scolded from head to toe, and anger surged in his heart.

"Pei Changyong, take a look. Is this kind of person worthy of being a disciple of Clear Heaven Sect?"

Lu Bai looked at Pei Changyong.

He may not care about Zhang Yun, but he cannot ignore Pei Changyong. Now, without Second Senior Brother's support, he didn't know if the other party would kick him while he was down.

"Everyone has the freedom to keep secrets, but if they contribute to the sect, the sect will not mistreat them!" Pei Changyong said.

Lu Bai's eyebrows furrowed!

This statement sounds impartial, but upon careful consideration, it is very unfavorable to him!

Sure enough!

Zhang Yun and the others immediately started clamoring.

"Did you hear that? If you contribute, the sect will not mistreat you!"

"Yes! All 72 peaks will remember your kindness!"

"Don't hesitate!"

These people were like a group of scolding market women, pointing and criticizing Lu Bai, as if he would be a sinner of Clear Heaven Sect if he didn't comply.

Lu Bai's eyes flickered, and an idea immediately formed in his mind.

He pretended to be furious, unable to speak due to anger, and stood there in a daze for a while before shouting, "Fine! I'll tell you all!"

The noisy chatter abruptly ceased!

Zhang Yun and the others were taken aback, seemingly surprised that Lu Bai would actually comply.

After a few seconds of hesitation, they all revealed victorious smiles.

"Junior Brother Lu has come to his senses, and I am greatly relieved!" Zhang Yun said insincerely.

"So, what's the trick?"

Lu Bai sighed and then flipped his palm, taking out a gold-seeking plate with great reluctance. He said, "Actually, I don't have any tricks. I was able to find the Grey Scale Iron and Earth Spirit Gold all thanks to this!"

The crowd's excitement turned into disappointment, and then anger!

Are you kidding us?

Who doesn't have this useless thing?

Lu Bai observed their expressions and immediately said, "Mine is different!"

"Oh?" The crowd showed curiosity.

"The story goes back to a dozen days ago when I just arrived at the Jewel River Desert. I happened to come across an old Taoist who was severely injured and unconscious. Out of pity, I saved him."

"After he woke up, he insisted on repaying me. I said it wasn't necessary, but he didn't listen and forcefully gave me this gold-seeking plate. Then, in a flash, he disappeared."

"At that time, I had the same thought as everyone else: what's the use of this useless thing? It's just taking up space!"

"But!"

"After all, it was the old Taoist's goodwill, so I kept it."

"Later on, I searched everywhere for ore but had no success. Suddenly, I remembered the gold-seeking plate given to me by the old Taoist and decided to give it a try with a desperate attitude."

"I didn't expect!"

"With its help, not only did I find the Grey Scale Iron and Earth Spirit Gold, but I also found a bunch of other small treasures. It was then that I realized it was an incredible treasure!"

After finishing his words, Lu Bai caressed the gold-seeking plate as if he were caressing a beloved woman.

"So magical?"

The crowd looked at him with a mix of belief and doubt.

"Can I take a look?" Zhang Yun reached out his hand.

Whether it's true or not, he would know with just one touch!

"No!"

Lu Bai immediately refused, "What if it gets damaged? Can you afford to compensate for it?"

"Then please, Manager Pei, take a look. You surely won't be worried, right?"

After a moment of contemplation, Lu Bai nodded and cautiously handed the gold-seeking plate to Pei Changyong.

Pei Changyong had a gut feeling that Lu Bai was lying, but he couldn't be completely sure. So, after receiving the gold-seeking plate, he carefully examined it.

However, no matter how he looked at it, it seemed ordinary!

If only that 'Earth Spirit Gold' hadn't been taken back to the sect. They could have used it to test. Now, there's no large quantity of it in the stronghold, so they can't verify it.

"Manager Pei, what do you think?" Zhang Yun couldn't wait and asked.

"Uh!" After considering for a while, Pei Changyong said, "This plate, this plate indeed has some differences compared to an ordinary gold-seeking plate. But as for the specifics, I can't say."

Pei Changyong decided to play it safe and confuse them. Whether it would work or not, he had an explanation.

Zhang Yun and the others' eyes lit up!

To them, this was already a conclusive statement!

"Great! Then I will present it to the sect!" Lu Bai looked at Pei Changyong and asked, "I wonder how much contribution Manager Pei can give?"

Pei Changyong: "..."

"This item should stay in your hands to maximize its value. The sect can just wait for the mining resources."

Pei Changyong was an experienced person. He wouldn't accept something uncertain.

"Junior Brother Lu, can I borrow it for two days?"

"Let me borrow it first."

"Damn it, I was here first."

Zhang Yun and the others argued, their faces turning red and their voices getting louder. No one wanted to give in.

The sect didn't want it, which suited their intentions. If the sect took it away, they probably wouldn't even have a chance to touch it.

"Forget about borrowing, you might as well buy it!" Lu Bai muttered at this moment.

"Junior Brother Lu is willing to give it up?" Everyone was stunned.

He wanted to sell such a treasure. Was he stupid?

"Uh! I was just joking!" Lu Bai covered his mouth, looking as if he had accidentally said the wrong thing.

"Don't! Once words are spoken, they cannot be taken back."

"That's right! Junior Brother Lu, name your price!"

"I really won't sell it!" Lu Bai looked troubled.

"No, you must sell it!"
