Qi Tian took a moment to steady his excited emotions, then, once again, he invoked the Heavenly Dao Engine to carefully examine the surroundings of the small pool.

After a meticulous exploration, Qi Tian finally confirmed the distribution range of the treasures. These treasures were divided into two parts: one part above the small pool, and another part below it.

Relative to the ones below, the Spirit Qi of the treasures above was slightly thinner and their total number also somewhat fewer. The distance between them and the small pool exceeded two thousand meters. According to Qi Tian’s analysis, these items could well be Stone Milk Liquid that had slowly seeped down through the cracks in the rocks, finally gathering in a few small pools and the larger pool outside.

The spirit items below the small pool were also connected by extremely fine cracks and their distance from the small pool was further still, up to two thousand five hundred meters, almost exceeding the detection range of the Heavenly Dao Engine.

Qi Tian was immediately struck by the urge to take all these spirit items. This was Wanjie Commerce territory, and theoretically, these things belonged to Wanjie Commerce. However, since Wanjie Commerce had used Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators including him as bait, diverting outsiders’ fire towards cultivators from Wanjie Commerce, causing Qi Tian to almost die in the Sea of Mist, he had been harboring resentment, seeking justice for himself. Now that an opportunity presented itself, how could he possibly miss it?

However, Qi Tian had to carefully plan how to extract these spirit items. After all, this was Wanjie Commerce’s territory. Liang Yuqi and Wan Xiaolan could come to check on their cultivation at any time. Even if they didn’t come in for half a month, they were bound to come after the time was up. At that time, they would very likely inspect the small and big pools. If they discovered any abnormalities, it could cause a major problem.

If Qi Tian wanted to excavate the spirit items buried deep underground, he first had to ensure he wouldn’t arouse their suspicion. This was not an easy task, as Qi Tian did not know how Liang Yuqi and the others examined the small and big pools, and if he started digging here, he would certainly damage the geological structure. Once he finished digging, it would be nearly impossible to restore it to its original state.

Furthermore, if Qi Tian started digging, he must not alert anyone from Wanjie Commerce, not to mention Liang Yuqi and the others, even Jia Zhengrong who wasn’t far from him must be avoided.

Thinking of this, Qi Tian looked towards Jia Zhengrong’s direction. As he pulled back his gaze, an idea occurred to him. His location was not necessarily confined to the small pool. Since he couldn’t dig here, he could just relocate. With the Heavenly Dao Engine and his Innate Spirit Treasure Level shovel, he could evade everyone’s eyes and ears, select another suitable location, and dig a tunnel leading to the area above and below the small pool. It could not be easier.

This way, the difficulty of excavating those spirit items would be greatly reduced. The most difficult parts of the plan were two-fold: how to perfectly avoid attracting attention, and how to quickly dig the tunnel and extract the spirit items. If he could handle these two tasks well, he would undoubtedly reap a considerable reward this time.

Not wanting to waste any time, Qi Tian, once again, activated the Heavenly Dao Engine’s Spirit Qi detection ability and started scanning his surroundings. He first confirmed the location of Liang Yuqi and the others who were still not in the cave, probably on the Floating Island outside the gate. Next, Qi Tian accounted for the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators in the Big Pool who were still soaking, refining their bodies with the Stone Milk Liquid in the pool, with none having left. Finally, he checked on Jia Zhengrong and his companion. Their location was better than the small pool occupied by Qi Tian. They were both cultivating diligently, oblivious to the outside world.

Convinced that no one would notice him, Qi Tian quietly broke one corner of the array set up around the small pool and crawled out from it. Throughout this, he kept the Heavenly Dao Engine’s Spirit Qi detection ability fully activated, leaving no room for anyone to detect his movements.

There was some distance between him and Jia Zhengrong’s location, far enough to ensure they wouldn’t hear any noise he made. Furthermore, they were not facing each other, so unless they peeked out from their small pools, they could not see Qi Tian. These objective conditions provided Qi Tian with considerable convenience. If they could easily spot or hear Qi Tian, he would need to be more cautious in his actions.

After leaving the small pool, Qi Tian looked around the narrow cave but didn’t find a suitable spot to start. So, he quietly stepped out of the long, narrow cave and, after triple-checking the safety with the Heavenly Dao Engine, he headed in the direction away from the Big Pool.

The underground cavern was vast. Utilising the Heavenly Dao Engine’s Spirit Qi detection ability, Qi Tian didn’t find other stone milk liquids rich in spirit qi within the Engine’s coverage area. Wanjie Commerce should have been aware of this. They had a long history of harvesting Stone Milk Liquid here and surely must have conducted thorough explorations of the area. Valuable items would have been taken away, leaving behind only the Stone Milk Pool, which could continuously produce. This is why the place was preserved.
