"Brother Chu Ping, Junior Chu Feng's abilities are truly remarkable. Even an eighth-grade Heavenly Immortal can't trouble him." At that moment, Chu Qing spoke up.
"Junior Chu Feng is truly a prodigy." Shock filled Chu Ping's eyes.
Although he already knew that Chu Feng was the most talented member of the current Chu Heavenly Clan — and had even defeated the strongest junior of the Li Heavenly Clan — he had no idea what Chu Feng was truly capable of.
But the fact that Chu Feng had managed to escape from the grasp of a Green Feather Phoenix Cry, an eighth-grade Heavenly Immortal, while only possessing the cultivation of a sixth-grade Heavenly Immortal, made Chu Ping realize that Chu Feng was no ordinary individual.
"Brother Chu Ping, do you know about Celestial Crystal Mines?" Chu Feng asked.
"Celestial Crystal Mines? Of course I know. They're a type of mineral deposit that appears whenever a Celestial River emerges. But compared to the Underground Celestial River, Celestial Crystal Mines are far harder to find — they're something you can only stumble upon by chance."
"To be honest, there likely was a Celestial Crystal Mine in that cave where we encountered the Green Feather Demon Clan earlier."
"Actually, the reason the few of us went out was entirely my fault."
"I sensed that aura and thought it might be the legendary Celestial Crystal Mine. Since we were underground and no one would likely spot us, I figured we'd try our luck. That's how we ran into the Green Feather Demon Clan."
"It seems they were after the Celestial Crystal Mine as well. I just don't know whether they managed to find it."
A look of longing surfaced on Chu Ping's face at the mention of the Celestial Crystal Mine.
Chu Ping was an honest and upright person — one could even say he was so cautious that it bordered on timidity.
Yet here was such a person, willing to put himself in danger for the sake of a legendary Celestial Crystal Mine. That alone spoke volumes about just how tempting the mine truly was.
"Chu Feng, it sounds like you've heard about the Celestial Crystal Mine too. Did you perhaps discover one?" At that moment, Chu Huanyu turned to Chu Feng, greed flickering in his eyes.
It wasn't just Chu Huanyu — Chu Haoyan was looking at Chu Feng with the same greedy gaze.
Even after Chu Huanyu's question, the way Chu Ping and Chu Qing looked at Chu Feng began to shift. Though the two of them weren't as overtly greedy as Chu Haoyan and Chu Huanyu, a hint of anticipation had crept into their eyes as well.
"I did actually try to search for one, but I wasn't able to find anything."
"However, I've heard that the Green Feather Demon Clan came prepared this time. Not only did they send their own experts, but they also brought in outside help from other clans."
"So I think we should stop thinking about that Celestial Crystal Mine. Running into a single Green Feather Phoenix Cry was already troublesome enough. If we were to run into someone even stronger than it, I'm afraid there would be no escape." Chu Feng said.
"Junior Chu Feng makes a fair point. We'd best stop thinking about that Celestial Crystal Mine," Chu Ping said with a smile.
