He had admitted defeat to Huangfu Qingjue. After all, the latter was a descendant of the divine clan. He also admitted defeat at the hands of Duan Qingchen. The Celestial Sect was already the leader of the five great sects, so it was only natural that Duan Qingchen was powerful.
Only Ling Chuxi was far from worthy of being his opponent when they had first met. However, the second time they met, she had somehow learned her Area Cultivation Method to the point where he couldn’t even resist a single strike from her.
Even now, whenever he recalled Ling Chuxi’s earth-shattering strike, Gongxi Kuangdao still had a lingering fear in his heart. He couldn’t help but feel defeated and powerless.
Gongxi Kuangdao knew that if he couldn’t defeat Ling Chuxi, he would never be able to resolve the gnawing feeling in his heart and it would be difficult for his cultivation to advance within his lifetime
This was also the main reason he didn’t hesitate to sacrifice the Eight Wasteland Blade to forge the Heavenly Gold Compass to find refined gold and mithril.
“Alright, let’s get to the Black Dragon Gold first. It won’t be good if the people from Celestial Sect find out,” Gongxi Kuangdao to his subordinates as he calmed himself down.
The subordinates took their blades out from their waists and attacked the mountain rock together.
Ling Chuxi had never seen refined gold and mithril before so she was a little excited and curious. But she wasn’t in a hurry to make a move. After all, Gongxi Kuangdao and the others were basically doing free labour for her anyway so there was no need to waste energy. It wasn’t too late to wait until they got the Black Dragon Gold out before making a move.
Gongxi Kuangdao and the others did not know that when the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole follows behind. They put their all into it as they harvested the Black Dragon Gold**.**
Soon, a scene that surprised Ling Chuxi happened.
As Gongxi Kuangdao and the others slashed at the mountain rock, sparks started to fly in all directions. However, they had only dented the mountain rock slightly—the Black Dragon Gold was still deeply hidden in the mountain rock.
Ling Chuxi couldn’t help but be surprised. The Gongxi clan was good at forging. Even if the blades they used weren’t divine weapons, their quality was extraordinary. Their blades shouldn’t be that inferior to the Luo Chen Sword, which had been tempered by the Cang Yuan Sword spirit with its own spiritual power. If her Luo Chen Sword could cut through iron as if it were mud the Gongxi blades should have cut the rock in front of them into two with one slash. However, they had only left a few blade marks on the rock despite all the slashing.
“Refined gold and mithril are at the same level of your White Jade Crystal. They are also rare treasures of heaven and earth. However, the White Jade Crystal Heart is the source of the crystal, while refined gold and mithril are formed from the condensation of metal essence. This huge rock looks ordinary, but it is actually an iron essence, a leftover of metal essence condensation. It is also considered a top-grade forging material and its hardness is definitely not inferior to pig iron,” said Huangfu Qingjue softly.
“No wonder refined gold and mithril are so rare. Even if we found them, it took so much effort to take them out.” Ling Chuxi nodded.
“It might be troublesome for others, but it’s no trouble for you.” Huangfu Qingjue pointed at the Glass Gold Beast in his hand.
The little guy was like a little ball of fluff. No one could see his expression, but judging from how its golden fur was all standing on its ends, it must be extremely excited. The little guy wanted to rush up immediately, but he couldn’t do anything because Huangfu Qingjue had him in a grip. In addition, Huangfu Qingjue had just whispered a fatal threat, “If you dare to act rashly, I won’t roast rabbit meat for you in the future.” Such a threat really made Little Meatball extremely obedient.
Gongxi Kuangdao and the others tried for a long time, but in the end, they failed and stopped panting.
“Sir, what should we do now?” asked one of the men, panting heavily.
