Even Ma Youcai, from his own side, couldn’t resist mocking him to his face.

”Qin Tuo, you don’t actually think you’re better than all these experienced veterans, do you? I’d advise you to shut your mouth and stop making a fool of yourself!”

The group of his fellow disciples next to him all nodded in agreement.

Seeing how foolish they were, Qin Tuo sighed inwardly and shook his head, deciding it was best not to say anything more.

And so, Zheng Guoping had a group of men neatly arrange the explosives at the mouth of the cave.

The amount of dynamite was more than enough to blast the entire cave entrance wide open!

Everyone from the three great families retreated a safe distance, and then Zheng Guoping gave the order to light the fuse.

BOOM!

After a deafening explosion, the entire cave entrance was obscured by a cloud of dust and debris.

Once the smoke cleared, everyone took a closer look, and their faces lit up with joy.

The cave entrance had indeed been blasted open much wider, now large enough for a person to pass through safely.

”Haha, this is great! Let’s hurry inside!”

Someone shouted, and the members of the three great families, unable to wait, prepared to be the first to charge in.

However, in the very next moment, the entire mountaintop began to shake violently, so much so that no one could keep their footing.

”Oh my god, what’s happening? Is this an earthquake?”

Someone cried out in alarm. Everyone’s face turned grim as they sensed something was terribly wrong.

They couldn’t help but recall Qin Tuo’s earlier words. ’Could it be true? Did the dynamite really cause the whole mountaintop to start collapsing, just as he said?’

Deep down, Qin Tuo silently cursed. ’A bunch of idiots!’

But what was done was done; it couldn’t be changed. All he could do was try to salvage the situation.

All around them, the ground began to rapidly sink!

Panic was written on everyone’s faces as they began to scream.

Most members of the three great families were powerful Martial Artists.

A crisis of this magnitude should have been nothing to them, but it had happened so suddenly that they were caught completely off guard.

And so, they all found themselves in grave danger!

Many of the weaker members fell on the spot, only to be crushed by falling boulders, their fates unknown.

In a moment of panic, Xue Qingqing instinctively grabbed Qin Tuo’s arm and held on for dear life.

Sensing her helplessness, Qin Tuo held her steady.

Nearby, Huang Junkai cried out, looking as if he was about to flee!

But in a situation like this, escape was impossible. Running around blindly would more likely lead to him falling into a chasm and disappearing forever.

With lightning-fast reflexes, Qin Tuo grabbed Huang Junkai by the shoulder.

A terrified look appeared on Huang Junkai’s face as he yelled:

”Mr. Qin, what are you doing? Why aren’t we running for our lives?”

Qin Tuo just shook his head slowly and said gravely,

”There’s no escape. Don’t waste your energy.”

Hearing this, a look of utter despair crossed Huang Junkai’s face.

But then, he gradually realized that as long as he stayed close to Qin Tuo, none of the falling boulders came anywhere near them.

He was instantly amazed, wondering how Qin Tuo could possibly anticipate and evade every danger, as if he possessed some form of clairvoyance.

Only when the collapse finally subsided did everyone dare to raise their heads and look around...

Instantly, a deathly silence fell over them.

The entire mountaintop had, just as they’d feared, completely collapsed inward.

Fortunately, it had only sunk by about ten meters. And while a few people were injured, no one had died.

The injured, however, were in a terrible state, screaming in agony and clearly unable to move.

The masters of the three great families breathed a sigh of relief. This was truly a stroke of luck amid a disaster!

Many people couldn’t help but glance at Qin Tuo, their eyes filled with a mixture of emotions.

They all felt a pang of regret. ’We shouldn’t have ignored what Qin Tuo said. If we had listened, we wouldn’t have ended up in such a perilous situation.’

But at that very moment, someone suddenly let out a cry of delighted surprise.

”Oh my god, look! What is all this?”

Everyone looked down at their feet and was astonished to find they were surrounded by raw, uncut gemstones of vibrant red and brilliant green.

In an instant, everyone gasped in unison!

Just one look at these raw stones, which glowed with multicolored light, made it obvious that they all contained priceless gems.

Moreover, the sheer quantity of these stones was staggering. If they were all mined, the resulting wealth would be beyond imagination!

Everyone was beside themselves with excitement, breaking into loud cheers.

”Haha... We’re rich! We’re all rich!”

The members of the three great families were ecstatic, some even shedding tears of joy.

However, Qin Tuo had no interest whatsoever in these gemstone-laden rocks.

His attention was drawn to the small, pebble-sized stones scattered about, and his face lit up with excitement!

These stones looked completely unremarkable, containing no gems.

But Qin Tuo knew they contained a massive amount of Spiritual Qi. They were, without a doubt, genuine Spirit Stones.

If he could absorb all the Spiritual Qi from these stones, it would result in an enormous boost to his cultivation.

And so, seeing everyone around him hollering in excitement, Qin Tuo knew his moment had come.

While everyone’s attention was fixed on the raw gemstones, Qin Tuo activated the Celestial King Order and began to frantically absorb the Spiritual Qi.

The amount of Spiritual Qi within these Spirit Stones was immense. As Qin Tuo absorbed it, a look of pure ecstasy spread across his face.

’This is incredible! These Spirit Stones haven’t disappointed me at all, haha...’

Deep down, Qin Tuo fought the urge to laugh out loud.

Meanwhile, the initial ecstasy of the three great families began to subside, replaced by furrowed brows as they faced a very practical problem.

Namely, how on earth were they going to divide such an incredibly valuable mineral vein?

At that moment, Zheng Guoping sneered and spoke up.

”Everyone, I have a proposal. I wonder if you’ll agree?”

Xue Chengdong snorted coldly.

”If you have something to say, spit it out!”

Wu Taiqi also frowned, wondering what Zheng Guoping was planning to say.

The experts from all three families secretly readied themselves, prepared to fight for the treasure at a moment’s notice.
