Chapter 1124: Treasure Mountain
“Are those...?”
His eyes lit up like a lamp at sunset. Kicking off against the ground, he ran straight for the mountain peak like the wind!
He couldn’t fly in this place, so Bai Yunfei had to make do with running and leaping. Every step took him another ten meters closer to his destination. Soon, he was standing right in front of where his fireball had landed.
Looking down at the closest stone, Bai Yunfei hurried and landed a single punch to excavate the stone from its earthly confines.

A mid-heaven tier upgrade stone!
Bai Yunfei was hardly able to keep himself from shaking. There wasn’t just one upgrade stone here. The mountain peak was practically embedded with the same white stones as the one he just pulled up. In other words...
They were all upgrade stones! This mountain peak was filled with them!
“I...I’ve struck rich!!”
Bai Yunfei let out a whoop of excitement uncharacteristically of him. But that couldn’t be helped. How else could he react in such a situation? Even a miser would have the same reaction after stumbling upon a mountain of gold...
It made sense now why he couldn’t find a large number of upgrade stones...he was looking in the wrong place!
This mountain peak had so many upgrade stones it was making his head spin!!
“Help me mine out all these upgrade stones, Xiao Qi!”
Hands already moving to mine out the nearest stones, Bai Yunfei started to request Xiao Qi for his assistance.
“High-earth tier...high-earth tier...low-heaven tier...mid-heaven tier...a high-heaven tier!!”
One by one, Bai Yunfei was naming off the ranks of the upgrade stones he was getting. Every stone he picked up felt like they were priceless antiques.
“A Guaranteed Upgrade Stone!!”
A fist-sized stone was lifted high up into the air! It was a +10 Guaranteed Upgrade Stone!
“Xiao Qi! Focus on that area of upgrade stones! Look for something like this!”
“They’re all Guaranteed Upgrade Stones! A +8, +10, +9....a +11! There’s a +11!”
Bai Yunfei began to cackle with excitement.
A while passed before Bai Yunfei mined up every single upgrade stone he could see. This place was now picked out clean.
“Phew...”
Breathing in to calm his rapidly beating heart, Bai Yunfei looked at the +11 Guaranteed Upgrade Stone in his hand. “There’s so many of these stones but in small pieces. I wonder...what they would look like as a whole?”
Higher-quality upgrade stones were bigger compared to lower-quality ones, but these stones were rather small. Bai Yunfei didn’t know why that was the case if they were all in the same vein with one another.
But having so many of them was very good news. They might be regular upgrade stones, but there were still almost twenty heaven-tier ones. It would serve his studies on the Upgrade Technique quite well.
“Are there really no more? Should I...experiment a bit then?”
Half the mountain had already been mined and yet Bai Yunfei was still reluctant to give up. He was ready to destroy the entire mountain if it meant finding more.
“Rumble...”
A loud groan could be heard as the upper half of the mountain collapsed under its own weight and was turned to rubble.
Countless stones fell from the sky as the mountain collapsed. Concentrating as hard as he could, Bai Yunfei was unable to find even a single upgrade stone amongst the new stones.
He grumbled to himself. Leaping into the air, he sent several more fireballs at the unbroken parts of the ground to try and find more.
His fireballs weren’t strong enough to destroy any upgrade stones, just the regular stones. With how hard they were, Bai Yunfei wasn’t worried about accidentally destroying any upgrade stones.
Landing back down on the ground, Bai Yunfei began to clear the rubble around him. Each wave of his hand meant another pile of rubble was cleared. Soon, there was hardly any rubble left to be cleared.
And from the remaining piles, a disk-like stone could be seen poking out from the other stones...
This stone wasn’t white in color, but gray. It looked like was absorbing the natural light being reflected on it. This was no ordinary stone.
Bai Yunfei summoned the stone to his hand at once.
“It’s heavy!”
Bai Yunfei nearly dropped the stone in surprise the moment his hands touched it. Curious, he sent his soulforce into the stone and—
—Felt a strange fluctuation of energy emit from it!
“Spatial energy!!”
His eyebrows flew up on his head, “Is this...a Meru Stone?!”
“Bzz...”
He sent a pulse of soulforce into the stone as if to test it. Upon receiving a faint vibrating sound from it, Bai Yunfei’s eyes glistened with excitement, “It is! It’s a Meru Stone!!
“I managed to find a Meru Stone! Does this mean I can craft ‘that’ soul armament now?!”
This discovery filled Bai Yunfei with great joy. He could hardly contain his excitement over this accidental discovery!
But in the end he stored the stone away in his space ring. He was here for the upgrade stones and came out with a Meru Stone in addition to that. To say he was pleased was an understatement. Who knew he’d get more than he’d ask for after blowing up a mountain?
But his luck wasn’t over just yet. The greatest discovery had yet to come...
Right as Bai Yunfei was finishing off the last pile of rubble, he noticed that the core of where the mountain used to stand had a shiny white glow emanating beneath the rubble!
Digging into the rubble...Bai Yunfei noticed a white stone about the size of a ball!
Then when he excavated it from the ground and touched it...
