Chapter 233 - 228: Heavy Water Spirit Liquid
Green Jade Li Family acted swiftly—within less than half a day, they dispatched a whole fleet, filled with relatives geared for mining.
A day later, the Taiyuan Situ Family finally caught wind of these operations, but it was all too late.
Centering around the Spirit Stone Mine, the Li Family fortified the nearby seas as impervious as an iron barrel—outsiders simply couldn’t detect what was happening inside.
Even if the Situ Family wanted to know what occurred, it was impossible. Every relative involved in the mining was strictly controlled, with no chance of leaking information.
During half a month’s time, although the Situ Family deployed Foundation Establishment Cultivators to try and see what was truly happening, they were inevitably repelled and achieved nothing.
This buffer period allowed the Li Family enough surplus time to mine at ease.
Fortunately, they didn’t push their actions to the extreme, merely excavating the easily accessible Spirit Stones before notifying Shuihua Sword Sect.
Although reluctant, watching hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones being given away, the Old Clan Chief had no choice but to bear the pain and inform the Sect.
The Elder who was notified was also chosen tactfully, ultimately, Old Clan Chief reached out to Elder Duan Dongyang of Shuihua Sword Sect.
Being the mentor of Quengeng and also an Elder very close to the Li Family, this provided a great opportunity for merit.
