The Mo Family.

One of the four great clans of Tongtian Market, they controlled a full quarter of all its business, encompassing elixirs, divine materials, divine sources, and many other trades.

Here, they were a super-giant.

It was said that an ancestor of the Mo Family had once produced a Saint, making them an extremely ancient clan.

The news of the great divine source mine could not be suppressed at all. Zhang Taixuan did not spend much effort before quickly finding out the whole story, and even the location of the divine source mine.

Because it was simply not a secret.

"Could it be that a rival of the Mo Family in Tongtian Market leaked the news?"

In Tongtian Market, besides the Mo Family, there were three other great clans—the Li, Wang, and Zhou—whose power was no less formidable.

Originally they had been evenly matched, but now that the Mo Family had obtained the divine source mine, their power would surely surge.

They were the ones least hoping for the Mo Family's success.

"Of course, we can't rule out someone trying to muddy the waters."

After thinking for a while, Zhang Taixuan had already made up his mind. With a thought, he slipped straight into space and headed toward the divine source mine.

Although he was currently only at Full Transformation Dragon, with his exquisitely profound Way of Space and his understanding of formation patterns, he was not afraid at all—unless a Saint emerged.

On the road.

Many people and horses were rushing toward the divine source mine. Their expressions varied, but their eyes could not hide their fervor.

Divine source—these were top-tier cultivation materials.

Even just a small piece, weighing over a hundred jin, was enough to let a low-level cultivator leap a great step forward.

What's more, divine source was so pure that it could also refine one's bone structure.

An improvement in aptitude was something a cultivator could not buy even for ten thousand gold.

Standing in the void, Zhang Taixuan saw the expressions of every group of people with perfect clarity.

In a moment, the various groups arrived at a range of undulating mountains.

This mountain was grand and steep, like a coiled giant dragon.

On Gaoshan, one after another fierce and imposing cultivators were already standing, their clothing uniform—precisely people of the Mo Family.

"Everyone, this mountain range belongs to my Mo Family. Please turn back."

Seeing the surging crowd, the leader frowned and shouted loudly.

"Damn you all, your Mo Family bullies people too much. We're just entering the mountain to gather herbs, and you want to block us too?"

"Exactly, this Burial Longshan is a hundred thousand li. Does your Mo Family want to take it all?"

In an instant, the crowd was enraged.

The people of the Mo Family naturally saw through these people's excuses clearly.

But there was no evidence, and for a time the standoff could not be broken.

Zhang Taixuan paid no heed to these people. Using the Way of Space, he easily slipped into the mountains and soon found a mine cave.

Sensing carefully, he quickly sensed the difference between the mine cave and other places.

The concentration of heaven and earth's essence energy here was higher.

With a thought, he had already gone deep into the mine cave.

"Oh, there's really a problem!"

Having gone in only a little over a hundred meters, Zhang Taixuan sensed something different. Beneath the earth, there were indeed an extremely large number of formation patterns hidden.

These formation patterns were filled with killing intent.

"Is this a trap?"

Zhang Taixuan frowned.

These formation patterns were extremely brilliant for ordinary cultivators—they were killing formations.

But they could not trouble him at all, hidden as he was in the void.

Right now, what he worried about most was that there would be nothing inside, making the trip a waste.

"No. If there were no divine source, why would the Mo Family lay down so many formation patterns? If there were no benefit, why would they break the deadlock and take such a great risk?"

Thinking this, Zhang Taixuan pressed further in.

In a moment, he had gone several hundred meters deeper, and the concentration of essence energy in the mine cave was even higher.

Deep in the mine cave, miners were digging at full speed, and fist-sized chunks of divine source were being unearthed one after another.

Zhang Taixuan reached through the air, grabbed a few chunks into his hand, focused his gaze, and said: "Such pure divine source. It really might be a great mine."

His eyes lit up. Without competing with these minor miners, he slipped into the ore layer.

The Void technique was simply too useful.

He stood in the void, strolled forward, looked at the ore layer, and could easily find the divine source hidden within the stone.

Then he reached out, grabbed the divine source ore into his hand, and tossed it into the Qiankun Cauldron.

In a short while, his Qiankun Cauldron already held over a million jin of divine source.

Fist-sized, head-sized, person-sized divine sources, their color like flowing gold, were an utterly delightful sight.

"Having the Void technique really makes mining efficient."

Unfortunately, there were not many people in the world who knew the Void technique—either members of the Ji Family, or some Son of Emperor-level figures.

How could such figures possibly go mining.

This was also why, in a fantasy world, mining was still done slowly by low-level cultivators.

Following the routes of heaven and earth's essence energy, Zhang Taixuan quickly dug the divine source clean.

This mine was not large; the divine source only amounted to nineteen million jin, and piled in the Qiankun Cauldron it was even less conspicuous.

Seeing the divine source completely mined out, Zhang Taixuan did not linger. He turned and vanished, heading straight back to the world within the gourd.

As he left, he glanced back from beyond Burial Longshan and saw that the Mo family, the loose cultivators, and the cultivators of the Li, Wang, and Zhou families had already started fighting, a complete mess.

"Let them fight slowly. When they finish and find nothing left in the mine, that will really be fun."

In a world of fantasy and cultivation, the strong prey on the weak; aside from a few people, most are extremely domineering.

Zhang Taixuan felt no psychological burden about having swindled these people.

Returning to the world within the gourd, Zhang Taixuan took out the divine source; the golden, glittering divine source was extremely alluring.

He casually snapped a photo and posted it to the chat group, announcing his great achievements.

Then, he directly began absorbing the essence of the divine source and started to cultivate.

In the chat group.

Miyamizu Mitsuha: "What is this?"

Amano Hina: "It looks like gold by the color, but does gold this big exist naturally in the world?"

Huang Rong: "It probably isn't gold. Brother Taixuan isn't interested in gold."

Miyamizu Mitsuha: "True. Brother Taixuan isn't short on points, so he wouldn't brag about something like this."
