Saya Mungkin Seorang Kultivator Palsu - Chapter 882 - An Lin's Path to Riches

Within Xu Xiaolan’s dorm room, the light of a candle flickered gently.

  An Lin snuck over… Ptui! He wasn’t sneaking over, he was visiting!

  Xu Xiaolan wasn’t really all that surprised to see An Lin, and she allowed him to come in without any fuss.

“What’s wrong? You look like you’re a little troubled,” Xu Xiaolan asked with a faint smile.

  As expected of Xu Xiaolan to be able to read his emotions even before he had said anything!

  An Lin nodded upon hearing this. “I have indeed encountered a problem. I’m in need of some spirit stones at the moment, and I need to find a way to earn money quickly.”

  Xu Xiaolan’s brows perked up slightly. “You’re in need of spirit stones? How much do you need? I can lend some to you.”

  An Lin waved his hands. “That’s alright. This is quite a large sum of spirit stones, so it’s best if I earn it for myself.”

  “How many spirit stones do you need?” Xu Xiaolan pursed her lips.

  “Uh, around a hundred million spirit stones in a year,” An Lin replied.

  Xu Xiaolan: “…”

  A peculiar silence ensued.

  Xu Xiaolan took a deep breath. “I suggest you go to sleep.”

  An Lin blinked in confusion. “Why?”

  Xu Xiaolan chuckled lightly. “Anything is possible in a dream.”

  An Lin: “…”

  It looked like earning a hundred million spirit stones in a year was an impossible task in Xu Xiaolan’s eyes. It was probably the case to the vast majority of people on this continent.

  An Lin made his way out from Xu Xiaolan’s dorm room with a disconsolate expression.

  He had made a promise, and he had to fulfill it even if it killed him!

  Chang’e was probably already preparing the ingredients for the divine pill. What if she refined the divine pill, but An Lin couldn’t give her the spirit stones? Would he be hung upside down on an osmanthus tree on the moon to be tortured and whipped?

  An Lin was overwhelmed by a sense of pressure, which was similar to when he had been forced to gather so many golden Realm Essence Crystals in less than a month. The Ancient Tai Chu Realm was a place where extreme perils existed alongside extreme riches. Even though gathering a hundred million spirit stones was quite difficult, it was a lot more realistic of a target in a place like that.

  But what could he do at the university?

  This was a serene and peaceful place where even murder and robbery were strictly prohibited. How was he going to earn money in a place like this?

  Just by selling stuffed buns alone?

  Sigh…

  He opened the door to his dorm room and headed for his bedroom.

  “Giant An Lin!” A small and nimble figure flew toward An Lin with an enticing glow in her emerald eyes. “I have good news!”

  An Lin looked at Tina with a dispirited expression. “What good news? I’m currently in need of money, so if this isn’t news about spirit stones, then I don’t want to hear it.”

  “Ah! What a coincidence! This is indeed news about spirit stones! How did you know, Giant An Lin?” Tina let loose a cry of surprise, and she was clearly quite shocked by An Lin’s unintentional clairvoyant response.

  An Lin immediately stirred upon hearing this, and he cradled the fairy in his hands while looking at her with eyes that were glowing from excitement. “What’s the good news?!”

  Tina replied with an expression that suggested that she was quite pleased with herself. “The very first spirit stone mine has been born in our Divine Mirror World!”

  Boom!

  This piece of information struck An Lin like a bolt of lightning to the head, sending tremors of excitement running through his body.

  “A spirit stone mine? My God… We have a spirit stone mine!” An Lin was struck by an overwhelming sense of joy. This was like a human discovering a gold mine in their backyard, how could he not be excited?

  “M-hm, following the progressive development of the Divine Mirror World, a spirit stone mine has finally taken shape beside the holy land that we created!” Tina was beaming with joy and excitement.

  This made sense. The holy land was a place that they built using the power of the heavens as well as the veins of the earth.

  It was quite understandable that the first spirit stone mine to appear in the Divine Mirror World would be born there.

  “How big is the mine? And what about the purity? How much can we excavate?” An Lin inquired with excitement. These were the questions he was most interested in hearing the answers to.

  Tina paused momentarily before replying, “At the moment, there are about sixty million units of spirit stones within the mine, all of which are of decent purity and are ready for excavation. However, in order to ensure the sustainability of the mine, we can only excavate a maximum of ten million spirit stones for now.”

  An Lin rubbed his face against Tina with elation upon hearing this. “Little Na, you’re so awesome! You are my lucky star!”

  “Heehee…” Tina extended her tiny little arms to pat An Lin’s massive face, and she too giggled with joy upon seeing An Lin’s elated expression.

  A spirit stone mine had to be mined in moderation in order to ensure sustainability, just as water had to be taken from a well in moderation to prevent it from drying out.

  This was why the spirit stones mines on the Tai Chu Continent were all so valuable.

  Excessive mining would result in the eventual decline and collapse of these mines, so there had to be a limit on how much mining took place. This was a very difficult balance to maintain, and there were often spirit stone mines that slowly deteriorated before collapsing over time, leaving the owners of the mines to weep over their own stupidity.

  However, Tina was different. She was a God of Creation, so it could be said that she was the world-leading expert on how to mine and how much to mine in order to maintain sustainability.

  An Lin and Tina arrived in the Divine Mirror World.

  They flew through the air to arrive above the spirit stone mine to find that it was enshrouded by a dense white mist of vital energy.

  The mountain was like a coiled dragon twisting over the landscape. The spirit stone mine was like the dragon’s spine, glowing with a translucent green light and emanating extremely rich energy.

  “The spirit stone mine was created by heaven and earth, but it is also limited by heaven and earth. Once it takes shape, it is very difficult for its area to expand. However, it would be a lot easier for it to materialize the spirit stones taken from it than when it was creating them from scratch.”

  An Lin stroked his chin before nodding. “This is like a large scale living being that can draw on the power of heaven and earth to recover from its injuries, but it would still die if its injuries were too severe.”

  “Wow! That’s an extremely vivid analogy!” Tina praised with a dainty smile.

  “How long is the recovery period going to be?” An Lin asked.

  A golden light flashed past Tina’s eyes as she made the calculations in an instant.

  “Taking into consideration the time acceleration, it’s going to take about three years in our world for it to completely recover,” Tina replied.

  An Lin heaved a forlorn sigh upon hearing this. It looked like it was impossible for him to reach his target solely by relying on this spirit stone mine.

  However, the fact that he was able to collect ten million spirit stones here had already instilled within him great confidence and hope.

  Hopefully, a couple more spirit stone mines could come into existence in the Divine Mirror World within the next year…

  “Are we going to send people to mine for spirit stones now?” An Lin asked.

  “Why would we do that?” Tina’s blinked her emerald eyes. “I can take care of it by myself.”

  “By yourself?” An Lin was a little taken aback by this response.

  At this moment, Tina waved a hand toward the spirit stone mine down below.

  Rumble…

  A series of green lights separated themselves from the mine before flying toward Tina like a meteor shower, gathering in such a dense, boundless bunch that An Lin felt as if he were going to be blinded by their collective light.

  Tina had mined all these spirit stones with a series of different parameters in mind, thereby allowing her to minimize the damage inflicted on the mine and allowing it the best chance to recover.

  Her control was incredibly precise.

  She was like a god-like doctor who was dissecting the mine with surgical precision.

  An Lin immediately thought of a piece of news that he had seen in the mortal world.

  A certain female doctor stabbed her boyfriend several dozen times, only for the hospital to diagnose him with just minor injuries…

  But now, Tina had stabbed the spirit stone mine ten million times only for the world to diagnose it with only minor injuries…

  “Here you go, Giant An Lin!” Tina tossed the spirit stones at An Lin in an extremely generous gesture.

  An Lin was moved to the brink of tears. He carefully put the ten million spirit stones away into his storage ring as he stared at the fairy before him with elation and gratitude.

  Thank heavens he had Goddess Tina as a coattail to grab onto!

  With her supporting him, he could completely undergo a rags-to-riches transformation and retire in a short few decades!

  This was An Lin’s road to riches!
