Green Jade Li Family acted swiftly—within less than half a day, they dispatched a whole fleet, filled with relatives geared for mining.
A day later, the Taiyuan Situ Family finally caught wind of these operations, but it was all too late.
Centering around the Spirit Stone Mine, the Li Family fortified the nearby seas as impervious as an iron barrel—outsiders simply couldn't detect what was happening inside.
Even if the Situ Family wanted to know what occurred, it was impossible. Every relative involved in the mining was strictly controlled, with no chance of leaking information.
During half a month's time, although the Situ Family deployed Foundation Establishment Cultivators to try and see what was truly happening, they were inevitably repelled and achieved nothing.
This buffer period allowed the Li Family enough surplus time to mine at ease.
