Chapter 822: Chapter 822: The Elixir, the Doing of Spirit Martial Sect?

Lu Chen naturally recognized the Spiritual Medicine and was well aware of its properties.

"Was it Xu Wuwen’s doing, or is it the same with the entire Spirit Martial Sect?"

Previously, Xu Wuwen hadn’t mentioned that they would distribute Spiritual Medicine after entering the mining cave, which left Lu Chen uncertain, and he no longer had the chance to go out and ask.

Once they entered the mining cave, they wouldn’t see the daylight for three years!

"The Jiuplasty Pills are Healing Pills, yet they are mixed with a poisonous Spiritual Medicine!"

Lu Chen squinted his eyes, the medicinal properties of the Rotting Leaves were not complex, but the effects they caused...

Would make people addicted!

"Now that things are confusing, it’s better to pretend not to know, and it’s best not to get injured!"

As he thought so, Lu Chen heard a series of hurried footsteps coming from within the cave!

He immediately became alert and quietly used the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique, and then he heard a hearty laughter!

"Lu Dao, have you made me wait a long time?"

Huang Qingtian!

"Huang Dao, how come... you’re still at the entrance of the cave?"

Lu Chen was very surprised.

"Ha ha, after entering this mining cave, no one cares so I waited for you here at the entrance. Didn’t we agree on this before on the Flying Boat?"

Lu Chen wore a complex expression. It wasn’t until Huang Qingtian ran up to him that he set aside his thoughts and said, "Then shall we mine together?"

"Of course, we came to this Spirit World together and ended up in the same sect, which is quite fateful. Mining together, we can also look out for each other, right?"

Huang Qingtian said with a straightforward and joyful tone, and Lu Chen couldn’t see any hidden intentions in his expression.

"Come with me quickly, do you understand all the rules in this cave? I’ve started a mining spot just at the side, according to the rules, whatever we find in this cave, it’s all ours!"

Huang Qingtian led the way, sharing what he had done over the day.

After walking about a hundred steps, he saw many mining caverns branching off from the main mine, densely packed like a honeycomb.

"Actually, Huang Dao, we should go a bit deeper to mine, it would be better."

When Huang Qingtian stopped, Lu Chen said so.

"I’ve also been deeper," Huang Qingtian shook his head and then looked at Lu Chen seriously, "But, Lu Dao, everyone thinks the same, so the deeper you go... the more people there are likely to be."

Lu Chen smiled; Huang Qingtian had guessed his thoughts.

Then obviously...

Huang Qingtian also wasn’t content with mining here for three years!

They shared the same ideals!

"Huang Dao sees things clearly, Lu was indeed hasty."

"Lu Dao need not be so modest," Huang Qingtian laughed as he turned into the mining hole he had excavated, saying, "After all, unlike Lu Dao who reached the Nascent Soul Stage so young, Huang has struggled up from the lowest ranks, having read thousands of books, traveled thousands of miles, encountered countless people, and endured countless hardships!"

Huang Qingtian’s mining hole wasn’t very deep, only a few meters, but by digging it out, he had essentially claimed the spot. It was now his territory, and other miners could not enter without permission, lest Huang Qingtian had the right to drive them out!

Lu Chen looked down and noticed a mining pick carelessly tossed aside, which prompted him to ask, "By the way, Huang Dao, did they distribute pills to you when you entered?"

"Do you mean this?"

Huang Qingtian took out an identical porcelain bottle, "These are Healing Pills, said to be taken in case of accidental injuries and once used up, more can be collected at the mining guard station."

Lu Chen said, "Huang Dao, may I see it?"

Huang Qingtian passed the pills over, puzzledly asking, "Don’t you have any, Lu Dao?"

"I do," Lu Chen smiled, "I just want to check the quality of these pills and see if they are the same!"

As he took the pills, Lu Chen casually tossed his own porcelain bottle into Huang Qingtian’s hands.

Then he poured the pills into his hand and first looked at them with the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique; nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

Then, upon closer smell, his expression immediately tightened!

Huang Qingtian’s pills also contained Rotting Leaves as an ingredient!

That meant...

These poisoned pills were authorized by the Spirit Martial Sect!

So, were they trying to control all the cultivators?

Suddenly, Lu Chen smelled the scent of conspiracy, stating they would only dig for three years, but once these cultivators got addicted to the Jiuplasty Pills, they might never be able to leave the mining cave again!
