Li Feng opened his attribute panel and glanced at it. "I should be able to recover 10 million sets of Energy Source tomorrow."

Before he came to the King's Ruins world, the dungeons that he had loaded into the forbidden land could only provide him with two million portions of the Energy of Origin.

Now, he had obtained 1,000,000 portions of Energy Source after farming in the World of the Kings for an hour. His benefits were much greater than before. Most importantly, he had yet to reach the dungeon refresh limit.

He estimated that a single King's Ruins world could provide him with 45 million origin power.

"I hope there's enough time!"

A trace of coldness flashed across Li Feng's eyes. He wanted to restore his strength to its original level before Borodin stepped into the Deity Realm. He might even go one step further before he could kill Borodin.

Otherwise, he could only continue to hide.

But now that he was in conflict with the Hogg family, he was worried that his whereabouts would be exposed.

After all, this was a world where Borodin was in charge alone. No matter what happened, it could not escape the Lightning Gobzan's eyes. If he was discovered, he could only run away or fight with Gebo's strength.

However, when he thought of the last time he had summoned Gebo, it had directly sucked out all his core energy. That kind of uncomfortable feeling was something he still could not forget. Thus, he was extremely resistant to such a thing happening again.

Unknowingly, Li Feng had already gone deep into the mine. Along the way, the number of people he met decreased.

There was basically no one around now.

Buzz!

Li Feng released a powerful divine sense power and scanned his surroundings. Then, the Essence Restriction Ring lit up and runes rose up, wanting to suppress Li Feng.

The Eternal Sword Soul flew out as circles of runes revolved around its body. Then, a terrifying suppressive force descended. The runes that had just risen shattered and dimmed.

Li Feng didn't care and didn't destroy the Essence Restriction Ring. To him, this little thing didn't have any effect.

His divine sense swept out and countless sparks splattered in the void.

This made him a bit surprised. There was a special force field in the divine mine that could stop his divine senses from searching. However, this wasn't difficult for him.

The power of his divine sense was too powerful. It simply broke through the force field with brute force and passed through the thick stone walls. He could see that there were divine crystals buried within.

He picked up a shovel and easily dug out a fist-sized white crystal from the wall.

"Is this a Divine Crystal?"

This was the first time Li Feng had seen such an Energy Stone. Thus, he probed it carefully with his divine sense.

He discovered that 90% of these white crystals contained pure energy that could be absorbed. Meanwhile, 10% contained dark matter energy that was used to gather the Energy of Origin.

He tried to absorb the pure energy in the Divine Crystal and immediately realized that the Energy of Inner Source had increased a little. However, to him, it was too slow and could not increase as quickly as farming monsters in dungeons.

This outcome made Li Feng lack interest.

Soon, he finished digging up fifty kilograms of divine crystals and placed them in the bamboo basket.

In order to avoid affecting his grinding in the next few days, he dug out another 250 kilograms of divine crystals and placed them in his sea of consciousness to deal with the workload over the next few days.

Then, he found a hidden corner and peacefully increased his strength.

…

…

Time passed, and soon, night fell.

Some of the miners were already unbearably hungry. Not only would the Essence Restriction Ring restrain their strength, it would also make them like mortals who needed to eat daily to maintain their lives.

Thus, Deacon Cui and the others were not worried that some miners would deliberately hide in the mines and refuse to come out.

Not long after, miners came out of the divine mine one after another. Those who could complete the mission had a bowl of white porridge and a piece of steamed buns.

Those who did not complete the mission would have their meals halved and would have to be whipped.

Some of the old men were unable to complete their mission and were whipped by long whips that were three inches thick. They let out shrill cries and lay on the cold ground while on the verge of death.

"Alright, Ye Luo, don't push us too hard. We still need these lowlifes to mine!" said Deacon Cui.

It wasn't that he was doing this out of kindness. To him, these commoners were all living resources. He couldn't die so easily.

"Yes!" A large man replied. He reluctantly stopped and muttered, "These commoners won't work hard unless we teach them a lesson."

If Li Feng was here, he would definitely recognize that this burly man was the one who had kicked him earlier in the day.

"Oh, why hasn't the miner sent by Young Master Xiding come out yet?" Deacon Cui looked at the mine curiously.

"Deacon Cui, your order is to dig up 50 kilograms of divine crystals. How can that lowly commoner complete the mission? I believe that he's still working hard at mining. When he can't take the hunger anymore, he will naturally come out," said Ye Luo with a smile.

Deacon Cui nodded and thought to himself, That's right. Even people can't complete a mission with 20 kilograms of divine crystals, let alone 100 kilograms. Then, he shook his head and said, "When he comes out, reward him with 10 whips. Don't dock his rice. I don't want him to die so quickly."

This was because before Sidin Hogg left, he had said that he hoped Li Feng could live until the next time he came.

"Got it," said Ye Luo with a cruel smile. Li Feng was already no different from these miners. They were all a bunch of lowlifes whose strength had been sealed. When he thought about how he had actually been frightened by Li Feng during the day, the anger in his heart rose.

He couldn't wait to teach Li Feng a lesson.

At the entrance of the divine mine, fewer people walked out.

In the end, Li Feng slowly walked out with 50 kilograms of divine crystals on his back. He didn't panic at all.

"Fifty kilograms of divine crystals." Li Feng looked at the registered personnel. Then, under their stunned gazes, he poured them all out.

"Wow, who is that? He's actually so fierce. He can dig up 50 kilograms of divine crystals in a day. He's simply a god!"

Many miners looked at Li Feng in shock. Surprise and greed flashed across their eyes.

It was already the limit for a person to be able to dig up 20 catties a day. However, Li Feng had far exceeded this limit, causing many people to have thoughts about him.

In the crowd, a middle-aged man with a scar on his face stared coldly at Li Feng and instructed, "Watch this brat carefully. I want to see him in the mine tomorrow."

"You actually completed the mission!" Ye Luo came in front of Li Feng and said in surprise.

Li Feng looked at him calmly and didn't say anything. Instead, he walked to the dining area.

This lowlife actually dared to ignore him again. This made Ye Luo's anger burn even hotter. "Stop right there!"

Li Feng stopped and turned around to look at him. He said calmly, "What's the matter?"

Ye Luo was enraged by Li Feng's behavior. Without even thinking, he whipped Li Feng's shoulder.

Pa!

Li Feng deliberately suppressed his strength and didn't dodge. Instead, a bloody mark appeared on his shoulder, and blood splattered everywhere.

His gaze was cold, but he quickly calmed down. In his heart, this person had already been sentenced to death.

"I don't like you. I'll reward you with a whip. From tomorrow onwards, you have to dig up 200 kilograms of divine crystals," said Ye Luo with a cold smile.

In the distance, Deacon Cui saw this scene.

He was a little surprised that Li Feng could actually complete the mission. However, this didn't match Young Master Xidin Hogg's expectations. By doing this, Ye Luo could just torture Li Feng a little, so he didn't interfere.

In short, as long as Li Feng lived a miserable life, that was the best.

…

…

"Get lost. I don't want to see you. You better be able to complete the mission tomorrow. Otherwise, you'll suffer." After lashing out, a playful smile appeared on Ye Luo's face.

In reality, he really hoped that Li Feng could resist. This way, he could lash him a few more times.

However, to his disappointment, Li Feng ignored him and continued walking to the restaurant.

"What a pity." Ye Luo pursed his lips and sneered. "He's just a coward. Watch how I deal with him in the next few days."

He really hated Li Feng's calm gaze. Thus, he decided that in a few days, if Li Feng saw him, he would be afraid and satisfy his perverse heart.

After Li Feng finished eating, he found a place to rest.

He had already made a decision in his heart. Tomorrow, he would break free from the Essence Restriction Ring and not leave the mining area. Then, he would come out when he was strong enough.

Around him, some miners approached him intentionally or unintentionally. In the end, not far from Li Feng, they found a place to rest.

"I hope you guys don't provoke me," said Li Feng to himself as he opened his eyes.

There was a limit to a person's patience. If they were truly forced into a corner, they would immediately start a massacre.

However, to his surprise, the night was very peaceful. Nothing happened.

…

…

The next day!

Li Feng woke up early in the morning and walked towards the mine.

However, he realized that many people behind him had also woken up and were following him.

In the distance, Ye Luo saw this scene and found the black scar. As one of the supervisors here, he naturally knew that there were many fights in the mining area.

As for the black scar, it was one of the leaders who had made a name for himself.

"You can find trouble with him, but you can't kill him, understand?" Ye Luo warned.

Li Feng was brought here by Xidin Hogg. Even Deacon Cui didn't want anything to happen to him at this time, so he naturally wouldn't let Li Feng die. However, it wasn't a problem for him to suffer a little.

"I know what to do," said the black scar meekly. Although he had some authority in the mining area, he was nothing compared to Ye Luo.

No matter how powerful they were, they were only miners. The two of them were not on the same level at all.

Ye Luo nodded in satisfaction. This was an obedient dog, unlike Li Feng, who dared to ignore him. Li Feng simply didn't know the difference between life and death.

…

…

In the divine mine!

Li Feng didn't hesitate and walked straight into the depths of the mine. On the way, he threw away the bamboo basket and shovel. During this period of time, he planned to live deep in the mine.

There were more than ten people following behind him.

"It's the person with the black scar. Don't chase after him anymore. If he's targeted by the black scar, he definitely won't end up well," said a few miners in a low voice.

Li Feng also heard these words. He knew that the black scar was quite powerful in the mine, but he didn't take it to heart.

However, some of the miners looked apprehensive and stopped. In the end, only four people followed Li Feng.

These four people were all strong young men. In a situation where their strength was sealed, they clearly had extremely strong combat strength.

When he got deeper into the cave, Li Feng saw that they were still following him. Thus, he stopped, turned around, and said, "Everyone, how long do you want to follow me for? You have to know that this cave is very dangerous. People might die sometimes."

"Pfft, what are you saying? This divine mine doesn't belong to your family. We can go wherever we want," said a young man with a disdainful expression.

"That's right. We can go wherever we want. What has it got to do with you?" The other three also spoke up.

Li Feng didn't waste any more words with them. He simply said, "If you dare to follow me again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

These words instantly enraged the four of them.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you threaten us!"

One of the young men rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Li Feng. Then, he sneered, "I'll tell you frankly. If you hand over the method of mining to us, you'll have to dig up 50 kilograms of divine crystals every day. Otherwise, don't even think about living well in the future."

At the same time, the remaining three people also surrounded Li Feng in a fan shape.

Li Feng's performance yesterday was too eye-catching. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible to dig up fifty kilograms of divine crystals in a day. As a result, the black scar determined that Li Feng had some special method or had discovered a large number of divine crystals somewhere.

Thus, starting from last night, he had people targeting Li Feng, wanting to find out his secret.

"It looks like you really want to die." Li Feng sighed. These miners were pitiful to begin with. He hadn't wanted to attack them, but he hadn't expected them to be so good at courting death.

Since that was the case, he did not hold back.

Crack! There was a slight sound of something shattering. However, the few young men didn't notice that the Restriction Essence Ring in Li Feng's hand had shattered.

"You're the one who's looking for me!" A sallow-faced young man cursed as he raised an arm and shouted at Li Feng.

Li Feng's expression was calm as he also punched out.

With a bang, the young man turned into a ball of blood mist.

"No… that's impossible. Could it be that your strength hasn't been sealed?" The other three young men's faces instantly turned pale as they spoke in horror.

One of them had sharp eyes and saw that Li Feng didn't have an Origin Locket in his hand. He said in shock, "You broke free from the Origin Locket."

"You guessed correctly. As a reward, I'll send you to hell," said Li Feng calmly. Then, he extended his hand and enveloped them.

"No…"

Miserable cries rang out as the remaining three young men were instantly reduced to dust and dispersed in the air.

Only the sound echoed through the mine, making the miners who hadn't followed in the distance shiver.

Li Feng didn't stop here. Instead, he advanced deeper and finally arrived in front of a rock wall.

Without any hesitation, he used his fists to break through the rock wall and continue venturing deeper.

He turned left and right as he dug, leaving behind path after path. Divine crystals continuously fell from the rock walls along the way, but he kept them all. He didn't want to support the enemy.

In truth, if one didn't have the strength to restrict the miners, they could dig even faster. However, once their cultivation base reached a certain level, they could create a space in their bodies. Thus, in order to prevent the miners from secretly collecting divine crystals, their strength was restricted.

In the end, Li Feng went hundreds of kilometers into the mine before stopping.
