The rest of the people couldn't help but feel strange. How could a Spirit Martial Realm cultivator be silent when he saw a Qi Martial Realm cultivator? It was like a mouse seeing a cat.
Zhen Xiu Zhu saw this and stood up with a smile, "Now that the ten of you are here, we can set off."
The ten students stood up one after another. Yang Qingxuan raised his eyebrows, "Set off? Mister Zhen, don't you want to explain the situation first? What's the deal with mining? "
Meng Rui also said, "Yes, 'mining' sounds strange. How do we mine and how much do we mine?"
Zhen Xiu Zhu smiled, "Naturally, we will go down to mine. I will explain the specific situation in detail after we get on the carriage. When we get to the mine, everything will be clear. "
Kui Shui said, "In that case, let's go. The earlier we finish the mission, the more precious our time is. "
Most of the students seemed to follow Kui Shui's lead. Seeing that he had spoken, they followed without objection.
Although Yang Qingxuan felt that it was very inappropriate, when he thought of the 300 credits, he controlled his temper and followed the crowd.
Zhen Xiu Zhu had already prepared a large carriage that could seat eleven people. It was very spacious.
That carriage was pulled by twelve wolves. They were a variant of ferocious beasts that possessed the bloodline of the wolf race. They were extremely ferocious and could run very fast. They were the favorite animals of the wealthy merchants of the Blacknight Continent's Northern Five Nations.
After the ten people got on the carriage, the coachman immediately raised his whip and the carriage headed towards the East City Gate.
Yang Qingxuan said, "Can you speak now?"
Zhen Xiu Zhu said, "The Cangnan Country is in the extreme north of the Black Night Continent. Although the roads are rugged, the products are very rich and the resources are very wide. The Mysterious Dragon Mountain Range, the Wu Huan Mountain Range, and the Hengduan Mountain Range near White Water City are rich in monsters, spirit items, and ores. My mine is in the Hengduan Mountain Range. With the speed of these twelve wolves, we can reach it in three days. "
Everyone was surprised. The Hengduan Mountain Range was very far from White Water City. They didn't expect the wolves to be so fast. Sitting in the carriage, although it was a bit bumpy, it did feel like the wind.
Meng Rui suddenly frowned and asked, "Hengduan Mountains?"
Zhen Xiu Zhu asked, "Does Brother Meng Rui understand this?"
Meng Rui chuckled and said, "I've only heard rumors. This mountain range was originally called the Thousand Beasts Mountain, and it's rumored that there are countless beasts inside. Back then, the founding emperor, Su Feng, who was still a commoner, used a Rain Blade to split the entire mountain range apart, turning it into a terrifying natural chasm. From then on, all demons submitted and calmly left. Of course, this was just a legend. The specifics would have to be explained by Mr. Zhen. However, since then, the Hengduan Mountains seemed to have become a forbidden mountain for the royal family. "
"The Royal Family's Forbidden Mountain?"
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. They were slightly shocked. If it was a forbidden mountain, how could they enter? Could it be that this person was secretly mining ores? Thinking of this, they all became vigilant.
Zhen Xiu Zhu saw everyone's doubts. He laughed mischievously, took out a document, and handed it to Kui Shui. He said, "Students, you can pass it around. This is the official permission document. Because the mountain range contains abundant resources, it's a pity to leave it idle. Therefore, a hundred years ago, they started to mine it. "
Everyone flipped through the document. It was indeed true. This Zhen Xiu Zhu was able to obtain the mining rights of the royal family's forbidden mountain. It seemed that his power was not small.
Zhen Xiu Zhu took back the document and continued, "There is indeed a natural chasm in the mountain range, but whether it was cut open by Su Feng is unknown. If it's true, then Su Feng's strength is too terrifying. "
Li Zhiye said in surprise, "Could it be that the founding emperor was also a great expert of the origin realm?"
Zhen Xiu Zhu's expression changed slightly, and he said with a smile, "Origin realm? Hehe. " He avoided talking about this matter and continued, "When the country was founded, resources were scarce. Su Feng wantonly excavated the Hengduan Mountains to replenish military supplies. This was how he was able to expand his territory and occupy a place in the northern part of the Xuanye Continent. Today, many traces of mining can still be seen in the Hengduan Mountains. "
Yang Qingxuan's heart inexplicably moved, and he suddenly asked, "Could it be that the mining area that Mr. Zhen wants to mine is also related to those traces?"
Zhen Xiu Zhu's expression changed greatly, and an imperceptible cold light flashed in his eyes. He said in surprise, "How did Student Qing Xuan know?"
All the students were stunned, and they looked at Yang Qingxuan. They did not understand how he knew.
Yang Qingxuan said without batting an eyelid, "I guessed."
"Guessed …"
Zhen Xiu Zhu was stunned, but after thinking about it, it seemed that the only possibility was "guessed". He said, "Student Qing Xuan is right. It is related to those traces."
Hearing that Zhen Xiu Zhu had guessed correctly, the other nine students could not help but reveal strange expressions. They looked at Yang Qingxuan a few more times.
Li Zhiye's face was pale, and he seemed to be very afraid of him.
Zhen Xiu Zhu continued, "You must know that the Hengduan Mountains are rich in minerals, which proves that the geology is very solid. If you want to dig a mine, you need to spend several times more effort. Therefore, when I obtained the mining rights, I used a shortcut, and directly followed the mine left by Su Feng a thousand years ago and continued to dig. "
Meng Rui nodded and said, "Yes. Although there are not many ores, it saves time and effort, and is very safe."
"What does safe mean?"
A student asked, puzzled.
Meng Rui smiled and said, "Since it has been mined before, there will be ore fragments left in the mine tunnel. Therefore, we can have a rough estimate of what ores there are in the cave, and how much reserves there are. Otherwise, we will have to dig a hole again, and if we dig a fake mine, the cost will be high. "
Zhen Xiu Zhu praised, "Student Meng Rui is right. I also used this method."
Meng Rui said, "Then I don't know why Mr. Zhen called us here, and what is the meaning of the so-called 'mining'? Insignificant hard work isn't worth 300 credits, right? "
Zhen Xiu Zhu smiled and said, "You are all intelligent and quick-witted students. I will not beat around the bush. I called you here for the purpose of drawing a map."
"Drawing a map?"
Several people asked in unison, as they didn't understand.
Yang Qingxuan slightly frowned, as he had already guessed a little. He turned his gaze and saw that Meng Rui also had a slightly serious expression, as if he also understood the task.
Zhen Xiu Zhu said, "After I took over the mining area, I found that there are too many mines in the mountain range. They are crisscrossed, and I can't tell the direction. Without a detailed map, it is difficult to pass through. Therefore, I plan to call some capable people to enter the mines and draw a map of the entire mine. "
After he finished speaking, he took out a long box with ten copies of the same map inside, and distributed them to everyone.
Yang Qingxuan unfolded the map and looked at it. The mountain range was drawn on the map, and the lines were like earthworms. It was somewhat disorderly, and there were many broken lines and blank spaces. Obviously, the map wasn't completed.
