Chapter 826: Chapter 826: Acting, Deceiving the Heavens!

Upon seeing the two men’s appearance, he couldn’t help frowning.

Initially, the two seemed to have a good relationship the few times he saw them, how did they suddenly fall out?

The Divinity Transformation steward swept his gaze around and said, "The Spirit Stones?"

"They’re with him!"

Lu Chen and Huang Qingtian almost said in unison.

"Hmm?"

The Divinity Transformation steward raised an eyebrow, his expression suddenly growing cold, "However you choose to fight, as long as you don’t use Spiritual Power, I won’t interfere. But if you hide Spirit Stones, don’t blame me for not being polite!"

In his view, one of the two was clearly trying to frame the other, hence the inconsistency in their stories.

And upon hearing the subtly threatening tone, both Lu Chen and Huang Qingtian’s faces changed.

Lu Chen said, "Steward, I have not hidden any Spirit Stones. I didn’t mine any this time, so if there are any Spirit Stones, they must be on Huang Qingtian!"

"Lu Chen, you’re full of shit!"

Huang Qingtian cursed loudly, "You didn’t mine any Spirit Stones, and that means I did?"

"You two... have no Spirit Stones this time?"

The Divinity Transformation steward’s gaze sharpened, releasing the oppressive aura of the Divinity Transformation Stage, completely subduing the two men and rendering them incapable of movement.

After a hint of murderous intent flickered in his eyes, the Divinity Transformation steward felt it was about time, and removed the pressure from Lu Chen, asking, "Do you have anything to say?"

Lu Chen said, "Steward, Huang Qingtian isn’t telling the truth. We had a disagreement these past few days, and he ran out of the mine."

The Divinity Transformation steward repressed Lu Chen and turned to look at Huang Qingtian, saying, "What about you? What do you have to say?"

"Elder, I had internal injuries, so I took Healing Pills, and then went outside the cave to get more. I certainly didn’t do what Lu Chen said, hiding Spirit Stones!"

The Divinity Transformation steward nodded, "Indeed, once you leave this cave, you have nowhere to hide Spirit Stones."

After saying that, he retracted all his oppressive aura, "Your conflict is just a misunderstanding. As I said before, don’t fight using Spiritual Power, and don’t hide Spirit Stones without turning them over!"

After saying this, he turned and left; as long as no Spirit Stones were hidden, he was too lazy to untangle their misunderstanding.

But just as he turned around, it was as if he remembered something, and he looked at Lu Chen, asking, "Have you taken Healing Pills?"

"I have!"

Lu Chen promptly replied, "After he injured me, I immediately took the Healing Pills. And really, the effects of these pills are quite impressive; my injuries were light, yet they’ve all but vanished with the medicine!"

"Hahaha," the Divinity Transformation steward couldn’t help laughing, "The Healing Pills of our Spirit Martial Sect are not famous for nothing. You might have to mine here for three years, but there will be plenty of pills! In ten days, I will come here again. Whether you continue to mine together or separately is up to you."

This time, he truly left.

For a long time, Lu Chen and Huang Qingtian locked eyes.

Lu Chen said, "It seems that Spirit Stones are not just for show; they’re also useful to him. But what’s more important is that we took these Healing Pills!"

"Indeed," Huang Qingtian agreed deeply, "As soon as I mentioned having taken the Healing Pills, his attitude toward us completely changed. This shows that Spirit Stones are secondary; the most critical are the effects of the Healing Pills!"

Lu Chen’s gaze grew solemn, "This time we’ve shifted his focus, so he didn’t guess our true intent. But he also said we can’t hide the Spirit Stones in the main mine, so how shall we hide them?"

In fact, they had tried and to their astonishment found that, besides their individually issued storage pouches, the Spirit Stones couldn’t be placed into their storage rings.

There must be some reason for this, they just weren’t clear on it.

And no wonder, their storage rings had been brought in without any inspection.

"If it really comes down to it, we’ll just turn over the Spirit Stones as usual. But for the Healing Pills, we still need to slowly stockpile them for emergencies!"

Both were well acquainted with the properties of the rotting leaf pestilence.

Those miners poisoned to the core, if an attack occurred and they were without Healing Pills, could very possibly be influenced if they produced them!

The Jiusu Pills were different from Spirit Stones; they could be placed in the storage rings.

Their feigned argument was precisely to hide the Jiusu Pills, to prevent the Divinity Transformation steward from checking, and it indeed went smoothly.

"Moving forward, we can only take advantage of the rotting leaf pestilence..."
