"I won't chat anymore, I won't chat anymore. I'll talk about anything tomorrow morning. Brother Shui, you take your people with me, I will go back to the station now. Don't disturb Brother Zhong Lin's rest."

Hao Datong, who was originally talking in a muffled voice, suddenly lowered his voice, which made people feel strange and uncomfortable.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go immediately, go immediately."

Brother Peng Shui was even more anxious and turned around and walked out, shouting outside. In fact, the people from the Phantom Beast Corps and the caravans had already finished eating, and they were chatting outside. When Brother Peng Shui and Hao Datong went out, in a short while, only the nine-tailed fox, Wu Shaojie and a few servants were left in the entire yard.

"Zhong Lin, go back early to rest. I will tell the people not to disturb you. You will sleep until you want to sleep tomorrow morning." Wu Mingtang said as he looked at the door. At this time, the Nine-tailed Fox and Wu Shaojie had already walked in. Wu Mingtang continued, "Shaojie, including you, you are not allowed to disturb Brother Zhong Lin tomorrow morning."

"Oh, I get it."

Wu Shaojie pouted and said angrily.

"Uncle Wu, Shaojie, then let's say goodbye first."

After Zhong Lin said that, he brought the Baosheng Pills that Brother Peng Shui gave him and left...

Looking at Zhong Lin's departure back, Wu Mingtang stood there for a long time, and he did not recover until Wu Shaojie called him.

"Shaojie, you go and rest too. I want to stay alone for a while."

Wu Mingtang said lightly.

"oh……"

Wu Shaojie knew that he must have missed something important just now, and he pouted even higher, but he did not dare to disobey his father's wishes, so he could only leave obediently.

After Wu Shaojie left, Wu Mingtang closed the door of the living room. He first poured himself a cup of tea for a while, then stood up and walked back and forth in the living room. Those who didn't know thought he had eaten too much dinner and digested food, but if he saw his tightly frown brow, he knew that he had something to do in his heart.

It was very quiet outside the window, and only the "sha" sound of the wind blowing the leaves and the footsteps of Wu Mingtang. As he walked, Wu Mingtang suddenly accelerated his pace and walked straight to the front of the screen on the side of the living room. He hesitated for a moment, and finally reached the back of a grid and gently pressed it down. After the "cry, creaking" sound, a one-meter-square entrance appeared on the floor not far from Wu Mingtang, and the steps could be seen vaguely leading to the depths of the tunnel.

Wu Mingtang lifted a lamp and walked along the steps. In a short while, a space similar to a basement appeared below. The space was not very large, at best, it was only about 30 square meters. Wu Mingtang lit up the oil lamps in the grooves of the walls around the basement in turn, and the entire basement immediately became bright. There was a statue on the north side of the basement. Apart from this statue, the entire basement was empty and nothing was left.

Wu Mingtang walked to the statue, bowed respectfully, and then looked at the statue and was silently chanting. And if the Nine-tailed Fox was present at this time, he would definitely find that the statue was almost as long as Zhong Lin...

Letting go of Wu Mingtang, let alone the time, Zhong Lin, who returned to his room, naturally entered the hourly space again. However, after entering the hourly space, he received a news that he could not have expected, which was the biggest "bad news" that has been heard since the hourly space...

"Boss, you're finally back..."

The Unicorn Wolf King frowned and seemed extremely anxious as he spoke.

"What happened?"

Seeing the Unicorn Wolf King performing like this, Zhong Lin frowned instantly and his heart suddenly rose to his throat. What he was most worried about was Zhong Lingyue, who had been in a coma.

"There are problems with those spirit stones. Boss, please go and take a look!"

All the spirit stones were placed in Zhong Lingyue's room, so the Unicorn Wolf King did not need to lead the way, but let Zhong Lin walk in front.

"Um!"

Zhong Lin responded, but his heart was relieved at once. As long as there was no problem with Zhong Lingyue, other things would be minor problems.

Zhong Lin took the lead in walking into Zhong Lingyue's room. Seeing that Zhong Lingyue's face was rosy and as sad as before, he felt relieved. Behind Zhong Lin was the Nine-Tailed Fox and the Unicorn Wolf King's wife Jiao Niang, who was walking at the end. When Zhong Lin and the Nine-Tailed Fox were not around, it was mainly the Wolf King's wife Jiao Niang who took care of Zhong Lingyue. It was Jiao Niang who found that there was a problem with the spirit stone.

According to Zhong Lin's instructions, all the collected spirit stones were kept in Zhong Lingyue's room. The main purpose was to see if the spiritual power contained in the spirit stones had an effect on awakening Zhong Lingyue.

"Boss, I picked two intermediate spirit stones a few days ago, but when I took them over, I found that something was wrong with the spirit stones before. Look..."

Jiao Niang said as she picked up an intermediate spirit stone and continued, "Look at this one, its quality and purity should have been an intermediate spirit stone, but the spiritual power contained in it has been reduced for no reason. Now the spiritual power reserves in it are only equivalent to a primary spirit stone. And this one, this one... These should have been intermediate spirit stones, but now without exception, the spiritual power reserves are all equivalent to primary spirit stones."

"Is all spirit stones in this situation?" Zhong Lin picked up a spirit stone and observed carefully.

"These are all intermediate spirit stones, and the same is true for the two advanced spirit stones we found before. The spiritual power contained in them has also been significantly reduced. You see, there was obvious blue light on their surface, but now they are almost invisible. What's strange is that there is no change in the primary spirit stone..."

Jiao Niang picked up another crystal that looked like a primary spirit stone and said, "This original spirit stone is what it was like now."

"Ah..., why is this happening? Not to mention high-level spirit stones, even intermediate spirit stones are worth ten thousand gold in the lost continent. Now they have all become primary spirit stones, and the price has been greatly reduced!"

The Nine-tailed Fox was so heartbroken that he felt very distressed.

"Is it because our environment changed after we came to the lost continent? What impact did it have on the spirit stones? Or should we not collect them?"

Zhong Lin seemed to be talking to the Unicorn Wolf King and others, and seemed to be talking to himself. After a while, he continued, "It's better to do this. Collect all the spirit stones that have been mined. If you haven't mined, stop mining first. Wait until you find the reason for the reduction of spiritual power contained in the spirit stones."

"Okay, boss, let's notify everyone now."
