Gu Chi hesitated for a long time and ultimately chose not to go to the Sword Sect and the Dynasty's Spirit Vein.

On one hand, the other party is a high-level player who may guard the Spirit Vein to gain experience and collect Spirit Stones. He would most likely come back empty-handed.

On the other hand, Gu Chi didn't want to be in the dark.

The world is treacherous, and people's hearts are not ancient... He would continue to look for other sects to play with!

Mining the Spirit Vein is not something that can be done overnight. Gu Chi's ability to appear and disappear is not something that can be achieved in just a day or two.

There are two steps to turning the Spirit Ore into Spirit Stones or Spirit Jade. First, the surrounding soil is dug up to determine the location, and then it is collected bit by bit based on natural cracks, similar to peeling corn.

After one night, Gu Chi can gain around 300,000 experience points.

It seems like very little, but in reality, it is quite astonishing.

If we don't count the Spirit Jade, an average Spirit Vein can produce 100,000 Spirit Stones in a day. This was unimaginable in the past. Qihuang Mountain has accumulated less than 600,000 Spirit Stones over so many years. It is not an exaggeration to say that one day is equivalent to one year.

It's just that Gu Chi wants too much, so it seems like a drop in the bucket.

But it's okay, take it slow.

Unless there are unexpected circumstances, this should be the last opportunity for players to quickly improve their cultivation. The duration will not be short, and after that, this instance will almost come to an end.

The players who ambushed him in the capital city may have reached the Saint realm faster than him, but the more so, the less impatient he should be.

Gu Chi's mentality is very stable.

The attitudes of the sect masters, on the other hand, are somewhat explosive.

They agreed that if one sect is in trouble, the other seven sects would provide support. However, as soon as they turned their heads, Ling Zixiao and Mu Wanqing went into seclusion, and Su Buzhe was sometimes present and sometimes absent, resulting in a significant decrease in their defensive strength. The five sect masters combined couldn't keep Gu Chi.

The formation was also useless. Gu Chi's teleportation technique was not affected by the barrier. He could come and go as he pleased. Not only did he fail to trap the intended target, but he also trapped his own disciples and elders inside.

Later, they discovered that Gu Chi had to touch the Spirit Stones to absorb them, so they deliberately reduced the mining efficiency, controlled the output, and immediately stored the separated Spirit Stones in storage rings.

But guess what Gu Chi did?

This guy actually descended from the sky, inserted his hand into the ground, and directly absorbed the Spirit Vein!

The tightly stacked Spirit Stones buried in the ground, like ignited fuses, burned from beginning to end, and in an instant, all the brilliance disappeared, turning into a pile of broken stones.

It would have been better to let him absorb the Spirit Stones!

What's even more infuriating is that Wang Dian, the Valley Master of the Drunken Immortal Valley, and Sheng Huoquan, the Sect Master of the Dan Yi Sect.

Wang Dian and Sheng Huoquan both lost more than just Spirit Stones, but Wang Dian was even more angry than Sheng Huoquan.

Sheng Huoquan only lost a furnace of pills, but he lost several jars of good wine!

Wang Dian, nicknamed Wine-Crazy, can't go a moment without wine. Gu Chi took his wine, isn't that equivalent to taking his life?

In the end, everyone couldn't hold back anymore and joined forces to go to Qihuang Mountain to seek justice from the Divine Maiden.

But the Divine Maiden showed them a document.

It turned out that Gu Chi had been expelled from Qihuang Mountain a month ago for the same reason as what was happening now, unauthorized movement of the sect's Spirit Stones.

According to the personal identification of Su Buzhe, the Sect Master of the Junzi Pavilion, the handwriting on the document was written a month ago and should be true.

Everyone had to swallow their anger and go back.

After all, the Divine Maiden is in the Saint realm. Even if they were acting, it was still giving face. They couldn't really go against Qihuang Mountain, so they could only direct their anger towards Gu Chi.

So, after being a repeat offender in the court, Gu Chi gained another nickname in the martial world - the Spirit Stone Thief!

Now, in addition to the Demon-Hunting Bureau, the major sects have also issued wanted posters, with a total reward of tens of thousands of silver.

It has already broken the record for the reward in Northern Rivers.

Gu Chi is delighted.

He could actually disguise himself or go into hiding to gain experience in the Spirit Veins of various sects. With his 85 points in Dao Yun, he has a lot of room for maneuver and can easily go unnoticed. But Gu Chi still chose to reveal his true identity.

On one hand, it was to increase his reputation, and on the other hand, he wanted to try to achieve something.

He felt that with all the chaos he caused, his score after the game should be higher.

Most importantly, Gu Changge is an upright and honorable person. He is not a thief who hides his face. How could he possibly wear a mask?

At most, he would change his appearance a bit.

On this day.

Capital City.

A quick look at tinyurl.com/2p9emv8w will leave you more fulfilled.

Gu Chi entered the city disguised as Lu Sanping and casually found a restaurant to have a meal.

Busy as he was, he couldn't forget to eat three meals a day.

He also wanted to get closer to the grassroots and listen to what the common people were talking about.

Originally, he planned to go to Qinghuan Tower, but then he remembered that he promised Huang Yang not to wander around, so he gave up and went to a restaurant instead.

After a while, the waiter brought the food to the table.

Gu Chi held a wine cup and sipped it intentionally or unintentionally.

"Recently, that Gu Changge is really rampant. With the support of the Divine Maiden, he has offended several major sects..."

"It's fortunate that he didn't come to our Sword Sect. The Sect Master is currently in seclusion. If he came, we wouldn't really be able to do anything to him."

"That's not necessarily true. Senior Brother's strength is not weaker than the Sect Master's. With him personally guarding, if Gu Changge dares to come, he might not be able to escape.""I hope our Sect Leader can break through this time. Then our Sword Sect's influence will not be inferior to the dynasty."

"I heard that the Emperor has also been trying to reach the Saint realm recently. He hardly attends court and only shows up every few days."

The Capital City is under the Emperor's rule, where one must be cautious in words and deeds. However, as cultivators, the disciples of the Sword Sect obviously didn't take these worldly rules to heart.

Gu Chi was pondering the words "Senior Brother".

His strength is not inferior to the Sect Leader of the Sword Sect...

Most likely, it's the player who ambushed him last time.

The Sword Sect is close to the dynasty, so would this trip to Qihuang Mountain be instigated by him?

The Emperor is also trying to reach the Saint realm, neglecting state affairs. Is he trying to become a Saint and turn the tables with the power of a Saint?

After listening for a while, it was all just gossip without much substance. Gu Chi picked up his chopsticks and started to eat heartily.

He had to play his part well. His eating manners had to be a bit rough to match the temperament of his face.

After the meal.

Gu Chi left the restaurant, glanced in the direction of the Princess's Mansion, and then left the Capital City.

He had been frequently visiting the city to gather information these days. He had figured out the location of the Princess's Mansion, but it was not yet time to storm in.

In the evening, Gu Chi visited the Spirit Veins of various sects again.

He didn't go every night.

He couldn't push them too hard, otherwise, if they collectively went on strike, it would be a bit difficult for him to handle.

So, apart from the first few days, Gu Chi only went once every few days.

Sometimes, when Huang Yang missed him, she would send him a message through Hongyu. He would then take some time to return to Qihuang Mountain and spend a couple of sweet days with Huang Yang before descending the mountain. He was playing a long game, taking it slow and steady.

The disciples and elders guarding the Spirit Veins knew that Gu Chi would come again, but they didn't know when.

This kind of robbery based entirely on mood made the sect leaders furious, but also gave them a glimmer of hope - seize the opportunity to mine more Spirit Stones when Gu Chi is not around!

They had thought about giving up, but the problem was, while Gu Chi was afraid of them going on strike, they were also afraid of Gu Chi causing trouble.

What if he saw them not moving and directly used magic to forcibly mine the Spirit Veins?

If the Spirit Veins were destroyed, then no one would benefit.

So, the defense of the Spirit Veins by the major sects changed from violent interception to psychological warfare.

Unfortunately, they lost this time, and a large number of Spirit Stones were caught by Gu Chi.

After more than a month of chasing and escaping, Gu Chi's experience points finally broke through the 8 million mark.
