Li Zhiyi really didn't expect that Gu Chi could retract his foot.

What kind of teleportation is this?

Is it a combination of teleportation and special effects that creates a chemical reaction?

Li Zhiyi: "......"

The Grand Scribe, whose face was shrouded in a black robe, said lightly, "You should wait for him to come out before taking action."

Li Zhiyi shook his head, "It's useless. His teleportation technique has reached its peak. I can only anticipate it, otherwise I can't kill him."

The ambush tonight was fruitless, and it's likely that Gu Chi won't come again for a short time.

But it doesn't matter, he has other ways to force Gu Chi to show up. As long as Gu Chi wants to be the first, he has to come.

For now, let's raise the level to the Semi-Saint realm.

"I'll wait at the Spirit Vein, and I'll leave the matter in the capital city to you, Grand Scribe." Li Zhiyi glanced at the princess's mansion under his feet and flew away.

The figure of the Grand Scribe gradually disappeared into the darkness.

Inside the room, Xia Ling looked at the "Emergency Communicator" in her bag and sighed softly.

【Emergency Communicator (Normal): Exclusive item for the "Crisis in 30 Seconds" instance, disposable, can send a message to a designated player.】

Actually, Xia Ling had a way to contact Gu Chi, but she felt it was unnecessary for now. Regardless of the quality, instance-exclusive items were very rare and couldn't be bought in the store.

Previously, in order to confirm that Gu Yuan was Gu Chi, she had already used a "Jungle Tracking" item, establishing her own auxiliary positioning. In the battle at Qihuang Terrace, she didn't pick up a single old coin, leaving them all to Gu Chi. Up until now, she hadn't gained anything in the game and had been at a loss.

Losing both men and items, Xia Ling truly felt heartbroken...

So, unless it was absolutely necessary, she didn't want to waste the emergency communicator. Besides, she was relatively safe for now, so she could endure a little longer.

Gu Chi's aura suddenly appeared and disappeared just now, indicating that he had some kind of teleportation skill. He could come to her rescue at any time.

These six months of confinement had almost worn out Xia Ling's patience and rationality. When she couldn't bear it any longer, she would give that guy a surprise and call him Gu Chi. Let's see if he dares to agree, hmph!

On the other side.

Gu Chi also didn't expect that someone would hide near the princess's mansion and ambush him.

This person was most likely a player. Otherwise, with his broken and void-like special effects, even the local cultivators would be scared away. Even if they managed to stay, they wouldn't dare to rashly attack him.

But the other party not only made a move, but also showed no surprise in his tone, making it clear that he knew Gu Chi's teleportation was just a bluff.

A player who had reached the Semi-Saint realm before appearing in the Spirit Vein, Gu Chi had never heard of such a person before. He had to admit that this person had some skills.

Perhaps he was the Grand Scribe, the fish in the pond?

The ID of a girl might not necessarily be a girl. Gu Chi never dared to assume someone's gender.

Of course, it was also possible that it was indeed a girl, but the identity card was given to a man.

Anyway, no matter what, he couldn't go to the princess's mansion for now. He could only endure a little longer and ask for help from Luo Qingshu after he became a Saint.

...

The next day.

At dawn, disciples who received orders from various sects hurried to the frontlines of the Spirit Vein to start mining.

This was a time-consuming and laborious process.

Although the spirit stones were harder than ordinary stones, they couldn't withstand magical bombardment. Moreover, they were buried underground and their distribution was unknown, so the disciples had to manually dig with shovels until the sect found strong men willing to work as miners, making it a little easier for them.

But they didn't leave.

On one hand, they supervised the miners to work properly.

On the other hand, they prevented people from Qihuang Mountain from coming to occupy the Spirit Vein.

After digging through the soil, the spirit stones were buried deeper, connected in a dense line, spreading out like roots, and some were stacked together like clusters of crystal corals, very beautiful.

Among these disciples, there were also many players who occasionally found opportunities to absorb some spiritual energy, but they didn't dare to absorb too much.

The elders were watching nearby, and the sect master would also come sometimes. If they were discovered, the consequences would be severe.

Therefore, for several consecutive nights, they could only watch these shiny experience points and drool, like a hungry beggar seeing oil-dripping roast chicken hanging upside down in a shop window.

They wanted to eat, but they had no money.

Being able to see but not touch was the most agonizing.

They were all players, and Gu Chi couldn't bear to see his fellow players suffer such torment, so he came to help them absorb the spirit stones.

That night.

The Spirit Vein of Junzi Pavilion and Qinghuan Tower.

This was a slightly uneven yellow grassland.

The miners were still working day and night, some were meditating, some were dozing off, and some were drawing and practicing calligraphy.

Without any warning, the air suddenly split open, and a figure walked out from it.

The elder of Junzi Pavilion opened his eyes wide, "Who are you?!"Gu Chi ignored him and skillfully grabbed a handful of Spirit Stones and Spirit Jades from the basket.

Instantly, the crystal-clear Spirit Stones and Spirit Jades turned dull at a visible speed.

The system notifications made Gu Chi's eyes blur.

The disciples: "???"

This guy absorbs so fast!

The elder could clearly see that Gu Chi was robbing their Spirit Stones. He was both shocked and angry, and didn't care why the other party could absorb all the Spirit Stones in the basket at once. He immediately picked up his brush and wrote a few characters in the air.

The handwriting was sloppy, but it suddenly burst into a strong golden light, turning into a thunderbolt heading straight for Gu Chi.

But before the thunderbolt could hit its target, Gu Chi had already disappeared from the spot.

He went to the other side of Qinghuan Tower.

First, he released his senses to investigate, and found that Mu Wanqing was not there.

Although he didn't know why Mu Wanqing was not there, since she wasn't, the Spirit Stones were his.

Gu Chi had previously promised Su Buzhe that he would be gentle when dealing with Junzi Pavilion. He kept his word and only absorbed one basket. But Qinghuan Tower was a different story.

Gu Chi floated around like a ghost, and before the group of girls could react, most of the Spirit Stones were gone.

Guarding the Spirit Vein was indeed a tough job for them. They were good at wielding weapons and fighting head-on, especially with their charm techniques. But they were helpless against sneak attacks.

The key point was that they, like the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Sect, had a professional disease: they had very low immunity to handsome men. The enchanting female elder of Qinghuan Tower prided herself on her self-control. She had just completed a dual cultivation yesterday, but when she saw Gu Chi's face, she still couldn't help but be infatuated for a moment.

"It's you, Gu Changge!"

Gu Chi heard a familiar voice.

He turned his head.

It was Shui Yue.

Jing Hua was also by her side, looking at him with an incredulous expression. She didn't know whether it was because Gu Chi was too fast, or because she had run into Gu Chi himself here.

Meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign place, Gu Chi wanted to greet them, but then thought better of it. It was better to pretend not to know them, otherwise they might be punished because of him.

Seeing him inhaling like a storm, Shui Yue was so anxious that she stomped her foot: "Stop sucking, there won't be any left if you keep going!"

"Hey, Gu Changge!"

"Don't suck the Spirit Stones, suck me, suck me!"

"Come and suck me!"

Gu Chi: "......"

Shui Yue: "I'll let Jing Hua suck you too, just stop!"

Jing Hua: "......"

As for Shui Yue's proposal, she personally didn't mind, but would Gu Chi agree?

Of course not.

Women would only slow down his cultivation speed.

Except for Huang Yang.

At this moment, the elder of Junzi Pavilion had already chased after him.

But Gu Chi had already finished, all the Spirit Stones were gone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, see you tomorrow."

Leaving these words, Gu Chi disappeared without a trace.

Shui Yue was on the verge of tears.

The next unlucky ones were Floating Life Island, Dan Yi Sect, and Hundred Flowers Sect from Cangzhou.

Their Spirit Veins were in one mine, which made it relatively easy to collect. There were also more disciples than in Junzi Pavilion and Qinghuan Tower, and one of the sect masters was personally on duty. Today, it was the master of Dan Yi Sect, Elder Sheng Huoquan.

He had just finished refining a batch of pills when Gu Chi appeared.

"Little thief, die!"

Although Sheng Huoquan was old, his reaction was extremely fast. He immediately drove the pill fire into a fierce tiger and pounced on Gu Chi.

But it was useless.

Gu Chi didn't even bother to respond.

He wasn't here to fight, and he didn't need to take the Spirit Stones away. He just touched them and ran, then came back after a while to touch them again.

After several times, the Spirit Stones were almost gone.

Sheng Huoquan was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

For the last time, Gu Chi even lifted the lid of his pill furnace and took away all the freshly made pills.

"Thanks, old man, I'll return a better one to you another day."

Sheng Huoquan: "???"

Gu Changge!

Damn you!!
