It took two more months to collect everything in the list and transplant all of them into her space. She went back into the cave.
"Any of you know how to extract a mine?"
"Master, that is not possible."
"How much spirit stones do you need?" The stone spirit asked.
"If possible, I want the whole thing."
"There is a transfer spell. You won't be able to move all of them in years but if you persist, half can be excavated in three years."
"This mine is a calamity of my birth family. Sects will come for it, the first thing they will do is to eradicate the Lin family upon discovery. Another plan." She demanded.
There is a mining insects. There happen to be a colony near the wine monkeys." Pete said waging his tail.
"Will they take less time than the spell?"
"Only if you pay them." The stone spirit reported.
"What do they like?"
"Although they can mine spirit stone, they don't eat it. They only enjoy eating powerful beast meat. But, they are too timid to hunt on their own."

"Here are all the demonic beasts I hunted during this time." She pilled up the beasts carcasses letting the ants finish eating at their own pace.
Then she saw a shocking scene. The ants borrowed into the mines smallest paths, grinding the stubborn earth sticking on to the high level spirit stones, setting them free one by one.
"Master, the queen is very happy with your offerings. It says this job will be finished in a year. I will collect the mined spirit stones to make space.
"Do you have that much space?" Amy is surprised.
"Of course, Pete is a treasure hunting lord dog." Amy nodded. She remembers the pile of stones and spirit beads he gave her before.
"I will go out to refine my blade technique."
"If I may, there is a Devine bloom tree. It won't produce fruits any time soon, but the leaves can be used to nourish the soul, Devine palace and even develop mind related talents.
Amy found the tree. The catch? A 7meter long blue gray patron coils against its thick stem..
