"Senior Sister Xiao!"
Inside the great hall, Xiao Qingyu looked up, surprised to see several female disciples in front of her. Their clothes were somewhat dirty and disheveled, and they spoke breathlessly, clearly having just come up from the mine. Yet, their expressions were unusually excited.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Qingyu asked.
The leading female disciple hurriedly said, "We're here to hand over Spirit Stones. Here are a thousand of them!"
Xiao Qingyu took the space ring from the female disciple and swept it with her Divine Sense. Exactly one thousand Spirit Stones floated in the space before her. After checking the amount, Xiao Qingyu said, "The mining pick."
The female disciple quickly passed over the mining pick. Xiao Qingyu took it and retrieved an ancient mirror from her space ring. The mirror reflected a ray of aqua light, which fell upon the mining pick. Instantly, patterns of intricate lines reflected outward, branding themselves into the void.
