Chapter 1168: Chapter 1168: Competing for the Immortal Stone_1
"Zavier, there’s no one here!" A young man came out from inside. Peter Brown knew that his name was Benjamin Woods, and he was also a son of an elder. They often hung out together with another elder’s son, Huxley Brown.
"Hey, you’ve disguised yourself as someone from the Energy Gathering Layer, haha, awesome! If that kid shows up and sees you appearing to be from the Energy Gathering Layer, he might just come at you, and you’ll easily take him down then," Zavier exclaimed.
Peter had been worrying about his own cultivation level, but he didn’t expect Benjamin to say something like that. He paused for a moment and then laughed, "Smart. That’s the only way to get him to show up willingly. I was just thinking seriously, with the three of us together our cultivation levels are too high, and that kid wouldn’t dare to come out just by seeing us. To lure him out, we should indeed appear weaker. Why don’t you also conceal your cultivation level?"
Peter also knew from Leo White’s consciousness that everyone had cultivation techniques to conceal their power, and as descendants of an elder, it made no sense for Benjamin not to have such a technique.
As expected, Benjamin nodded his head vigorously and said, "Your plan is great. Alright, I’ll conceal my cultivation technique right away."
As they spoke, Benjamin’s aura converged, and then he too looked like someone from the Energy Gathering Layer.
The two of them looked at each other and burst into loud laughter.
"What’s so funny?"
Huxley came out from inside just then, eyeing them both with confusion.
Peter repeated the plan to him.
Huxley praised, "Indeed, showing weakness is the best tactic. I’ll also conceal some of my cultivation level."
While talking, he too controlled his cultivation level down to the Energy Gathering Layer.
At this point, Peter breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this was a good approach. Only in this way wouldn’t he stand out, and it would also be a way to blend into their team.
"What should we do about the other two caves?" asked Benjamin.
"Let’s just follow one of them in," Peter said to the two of them this time, not choosing to walk separately anymore.
"Alright, in and out quickly."
The three of them chatted and laughed as they rushed deeper into the cavern. Peter noticed that along the path of this branched cave, there were some ores embedded in the walls. As they went along, the three occasionally mined some ore, gaining a bit of a haul.
When everyone reached the furthest end of the place, they were stunned to see people frantically mining.
Immortal Stones!
Seeing the chunks of Immortal Stones embedded in the cave wall, all three of their eyes lit up. They hadn’t expected to find so many Immortal Stones here, which were far from ordinary items and useful to every cultivator.
"Quick, mine them!"
Benjamin, throwing caution to the wind, grabbed his mining hoe and set to work.
"This is Great Prosperity Sect’s territory, no mining allowed!"
Just then, a shout from an expert in the Immortal Realm rang out.
Upon a closer look, Peter and the others saw that indeed it was people from the Great Prosperity Sect who were mining the Immortal Stones. Looking further, there was another path that led to a different area.
"This place belongs to the Ghost Expelling Sect," Huxley also from the young masters, spoke up loudly, discontented.
"It’s the territory of the Great Prosperity Sect."
"Ghost Expelling Sect’s territory!"
The two sides started shouting at each other.
Seeing that the other side consisted of ten people, Peter knew that even if they argued, they couldn’t outmatch the opponents. He stood there, considering what to do.
It was at this moment that the sound of digging came from the stone wall, followed by a large stone dislodging and revealing another opening.
"It’s through!"
Someone yelled excitedly, and then a few other people rushed in from that direction.
Hey!
The people who rushed in were all a bit bewildered at the sight of Peter Brown and his companions locked in a standoff.
"Ah, so many Immortal Stones!" Someone exclaimed in shock, focusing their attention on the stone wall.
"Quick, mine the Immortal Stones!" The newcomers were from the Ghost Expelling Sect, and without caring what anyone else thought, they took out their mining hoes and began to dig.
The people of the Great Prosperity Sect had been managing to suppress Peter and his two friends, but now that the Ghost Expelling Sect had arrived with numbers almost equal to theirs, it was impossible to stop them in the heat of the moment.
Realizing the situation, the people of the Great Prosperity Sect knew they couldn’t stop them and could only desperately rush to snatch the Immortal Stones.
"Mine quickly!" Huxley Brown charged forward and started digging.
Although they were all sons of elders, the quality of the Immortal Stones here was not low; anyone who mined them would make money, so who wouldn’t want to dig up more?
For the moment, everyone was digging madly.
While mining the Immortal Stones, Peter began to calculate in his heart. Given the current situation, was everyone’s greed not apparent, and even if they finished mining, would they be able to take them away?
Since they had concealed their cultivation, it was inevitable that the others would force them to hand over the Immortal Stones; they couldn’t avoid a fight when the time came.
Therefore, what they needed to consider now was how to escape.
However, Peter had another idea at that moment. If he could use this opportunity well, he might solve his cultivation issues.
With that thought, Peter began to prepare.
"This is top-grade Immortal Stone, wow!" Benjamin Woods had not anticipated the impending danger and after he mined a large piece of Immortal Stone, he shouted in delight.
When the people from the Great Prosperity Sect glanced at Benjamin Woods, murder flashed in their eyes, and one of them swung their mining hoe viciously at Benjamin.
"Dodge quickly." Peter, who had been secretly observing, immediately pulled Benjamin away.
Boom!
The mining hoe struck the ground heavily where Benjamin had been standing just a moment before.
Benjamin, initially unaware of the danger, now realized that he would have been killed or severely injured if not for Peter’s intervention, and he shouted in anger, "You’re looking for death."
Roaring, Benjamin charged towards the assailant from the Great Prosperity Sect.
Since the situation had escalated to this point, Peter, of course, chose to fight, throwing an Ice and Snow Talisman at the enemy from the Great Prosperity Sect and shouting loudly, "People of the Great Prosperity Sect want to kill us and hog it all for themselves!"
The people from the Ghost Expelling Sect hadn’t thought about this until they heard Peter’s words, and they immediately became enraged as well, attacking the Great Prosperity Sect.
Inside the cave, mining hoes swung and all began to fight together.
"Kill the people of the Great Prosperity Sect!"
Peter swung his mining hoe and joined the fray.
All three groups were now embroiled in chaos within the cave.
"I will kill you, you brat."
The member of the Great Prosperity Sect who had initiated the assault was furious with Peter and charged at him.
"Hmph!"
Peter also went on the offensive.
Just then, the mining hoe of the opponent struck heavily below Peter’s navel.
Flung out by the blow, Peter took the opportunity to rush out of the cave.
Indeed, his defenses were very strong, and he hadn’t been injured!
After checking his body, Peter felt somewhat relieved.
He quickly organized the items on him, especially the Ring which he placed into the space below his navel and further inside the Ruyi Furnace.
