606: Chapter 606 Miners

In the vast Universe, a spaceship shuttled rapidly through the nebulae.

Inside the spaceship.

"Leibo, you bastard!"

"You'd better explain this clearly. You asked me to accompany you on a mission, and it turns out to be acting as a miner? Do you think I have nothing better to do?"

Upon seeing the mission email Leibo sent, Xiao Weiqing cursed loudly.

"Don't get angry, let's talk this over."

Leibo said with an apologetic smile.

"Then explain it to me clearly. What's going on with Black Spring Planet?"

"Ahem~~"

"Black Spring Planet is a resource planet, and there are only miners on it. If I want to get in, I can only infiltrate by acting as a miner."

Xiao Weiqing's expression grew increasingly grim.

"But~"

"Don't rush, there's a 'but'."

"Speak!"

"It's a long story."

"Then make it short."

Leibo said: "It's like this. This planet was once a resource planet under the name of an Undying Realm powerhouse. It has precious Black Spring Stones. A dozen years ago, that Undying Realm powerhouse fell for some reason."

"Now this planet is in a state of trusteeship, but in recent years, problems have appeared on the planet, and the output of Black Spring Stones has been decreasing every year."

"That's normal, right? Who knows how many years a planet belonging to an Undying Realm powerhouse has been developed? It's not impossible that the planet has been hollowed out."

"No, according to intelligence, someone has usurped the nest."

"Who?"

Leibo shrugged, "That's exactly what I don't know, which is why we need to go and find out."

Xiao Weiqing looked skeptical, "Is it that simple? Can this mission be rated as S-grade by the Holy Land?"

"Of course not."

"There are mainly two reasons why it was rated S-grade."

"First, before the incident, a Dominator Realm manager on the planet died suddenly for no reason."

"Second, there is a suspected discovery of Black Spring Crystal on the planet."

Black Spring Crystal and Black Spring Stone only differ by one character, but their actual value is worlds apart. Although Black Spring Stone is precious, it is far inferior to Black Spring Crystal, because Black Spring Crystal is a treasure for Cultivating water-type Dharma Body.

Although it cannot compare to Divine Crystals, its value is much higher than ordinary Heaven And Earth Treasure.

"A Dominator Realm powerhouse died suddenly?"

"Yes, according to the mission client's information, one died suddenly a year ago, and then another Dominator Realm powerhouse was sent, but the result..."

"Died suddenly again?"

"No, nothing happened. The second Dominator Realm powerhouse investigated for half a year and publicly claimed that the previous Dominator Realm powerhouse had problems with their own Cultivation, and there were no Black Spring Crystals on the planet."

Xiao Weiqing raised an eyebrow: "Trying to hide the truth?"

"Uh... what do you mean?"

Leibo didn't understand.

"It means doing something bad and hanging a sign on your chest saying you aren't a bad person."

"Right, that's basically what it means."

"Then what are we going to do?" Xiao Weiqing asked, "Kill that Dominator Realm powerhouse and seize the planet?"

"We can't just start killing people right away. In another civilization's territory, what if we kill the wrong person?"

"We cannot ruin the reputation of the Holy Land, otherwise even if we complete the mission, the final evaluation won't be very high."

Leibo was left speechless by Xiao Weiqing.

"Let's go take a look first, then make plans."

"Fine."

"And what about the mission reward?"

"Twenty thousand credits, we split it sixty-forty, you get sixty, I get forty."

Xiao Weiqing sighed, "Let's split it fifty-fifty."

They mainly did missions to satisfy the Holy Land's assessment requirements for Sixth Heaven members; otherwise, twenty thousand credits was barely enough to pay a beggar.

This mission would take at least two or three months round trip.

It neither earns enough credits nor wastes Cultivation time.

"Don't rush, that's just the base reward."

"The client said that if there really are Black Spring Crystals, we will slaughter that Dominator Realm powerhouse, take the planet, and we can get forty percent of the Black Spring Crystals."

"Are you sure?"

"If there is really a problem, I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Leibo said: "That's all the information we have for now. The client has the inheritance rights to this planet, that is certain; the Holy Land has verified it."

"Of course, if there are any accidents, we will definitely put safety first."

Xiao Weiqing thought for a moment, looking Leibo up and down, "I always feel like the missions you take are a bit unreliable."

"I'd rather go hunt down Universe wanted criminals or interstellar pirates; it feels better than this mission."

Because although those missions are also dangerous, there won't be any unexpected twists; find the person and kill them, that's it.

"Is that the same?"

"Universe wanted criminals and interstellar pirates have uncertain whereabouts; any mission takes years to complete. What we lack right now is time, isn't it?"

Leibo said.

"Fine, I'll trust you this once."

"By the way, if I didn't agree, would you still take this mission?"

Leibo shook his head, "Of course not. Although my teacher gave me life-saving means and I consider myself stronger than ordinary Dominator Realm powerhouses in the outside world, I wouldn't put myself in danger. I'm not stupid."

"Then you still dragged me into this?"

Xiao Weiqing stared at Leibo with drooping eyelids.

Leibo chuckled.

"You've already entered the Second-Layer Domain, right? A Dominator Realm powerhouse is easy to handle; even if there are a few more, they definitely won't be your match."

"This mission is rated S-grade, and it allows for a two-person team. If I don't take it, heaven wouldn't allow it."

"Fine, that's it. Tell me when we get there."

"Alright, we'll arrive in about five days. I'll call you later."

Xiao Weiqing returned to his room to Cultivate.

...

Time passed.

Five days later.

"Knock knock~~"

"Xiao Weiqing, we're here."

Xiao Weiqing followed Leibo to the hall and looked out through the porthole.

"See that? It's that black and yellow planet."

"The planet is covered by lakes of various sizes. They call them Black Springs. Beneath the Black Springs are Black Spring Stones."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Leibo stopped Xiao Weiqing, "We can't just go like that. Being so blatant, even a ghost would know we have a problem."

"You have a plan?"

"Simple."

"I'll hide this spaceship, then we'll take a small aircraft and pretend to be interstellar scavengers. After they discover us, thinking our strength is weak, they will definitely enslave us, and then we can just have them take us inside."

"This is the key to a type of Source Power device they use to enslave star owners. I'll give you two."

Next.

The two boarded a small aircraft.

They didn't head straight to Black Spring Planet but wandered around nearby planets until the third day before heading towards Black Spring Planet.

When the aircraft approached Black Spring Planet.

"They're here."

Xiao Weiqing looked at the starlight attacking from the distant starry sky; it was an interstellar weapon.

Swoosh~

"Remember to conceal your aura when the time comes; don't let anyone discover it."

"Got it."

Xiao Weiqing replied. He had the Soul Silence Armor, which could even conceal his Divine Soul to a level that Undying Realm powerhouses couldn't detect.

Leibo slightly operated the aircraft, making it look like they were fleeing, but the aircraft was eventually hit.

Boom~

The aircraft they were riding in was instantly blown up, turning into a pile of debris drifting in the starry sky.

Xiao Weiqing and Leibo used Source Power to wrap themselves and flew out of the explosion.

"Don't move, or die!"

Six people appeared around them, surrounding the two.

Leibo and Xiao Weiqing exchanged a glance and shouted in a low voice.

"Do it!"

Leibo and Xiao Weiqing attacked from left and right, fighting back vigorously. They battled the six people for dozens of rounds, but ultimately 'failed to win' and were captured.

"Don't worry, we won't kill you."

The leader, who had roughly the strength of a Holy Land Third Heaven, took out eight black Wristbands and put them on the two's hands and feet.

Suddenly.

Xiao Weiqing felt the circulation of Source Power in his body was hindered, but it would only take a split second for him to break free.

Next.

The two were taken onto another aircraft and flew towards Black Spring Stone Planet.

On the aircraft.

The two sat opposite each other, communicating via Divine Soul.

"Leibo, it's a real shame you didn't go into acting."

"Likewise."
