Ji Tianxing observed for a while in the deep pit and guessed the situation.
This deep pit was considered the surface. The ores and metals mined from the underground were all sent here to be refined and purified.
Through the entrances on the east and west sides, one could enter the underground mine.
The City Lord's Mansion had operated here for seventy years and had long since formed a complete system of mining, cleansing, and refining. Its work efficiency was very high.
Moreover, after the City Lord's Mansion evacuated, they did not destroy the basic facilities.
In this way, the Qi family could quickly take over the Mystic Light Cave.
They did not need to prepare too many things to quickly mine the ores.
However, these were all superficial things that were not worth the City Lord's Mansion's meddling.
The real problem, and the more difficult part, should still be in the mine.
"Let's go and take a look inside the mine."
Ji Tianxing looked at Qi Huanzhi.
Qi Huanzhi quickly led the way and entered the eastern entrance of the mine.
After entering the mine, the light became dim.
Two mine tunnels, each of which was more than ten feet wide, meandered down a spacious cave.
The mine tunnels were attached to the rock wall. Every hundred steps, there was a gemstone lamp on the rock wall.
Ji Tianxing sized up the spacious cave and said, "This cave was excavated by the City Lord's Mansion in the past few decades, right?
It seems that they have mined a lot of divine stones and metals over the years! "
Qi Huanzhi quickly nodded and said with righteous indignation, "Yes! On the surface, our Qi family is the richest family in Green Mountain City.
But in reality, the City Lord's Mansion is the real rich family, and they have hidden their wealth well!
If not for the Mystic Light Cave, how could they afford to raise fifty thousand private soldiers?
They even invited a Divine Lord Realm Consecrator, hundreds of elite Divine Realm experts, and more than thirty aides … "
As they spoke, the three quickly went down to the bottom of the cave.
The cave of this mine was more than six thousand feet high.
At the bottom of the cave was a plaza with a radius of fifty miles. A large amount of black, brown, and dark gold ores were piled up.
There were more than ten mine tunnels around the plaza, extending in all directions.
Many miners, dressed in coarse linen clothes and unkempt faces, were working in the depths of the mine tunnels.
Most of them were in charge of mining the ores, while a small number were in charge of transporting them to the plaza.
There were also over a hundred armored Qi Family guards patrolling back and forth in the various tunnels to supervise the workers.
When they saw Qi Huanzhi and Ji Tianxing, everyone bowed to greet them.
Bai Long took a few glances and asked with a frown, "Young Master Qi, why are those miners still using carts to transport the ore?
I see that the miners are all Virtual Gods. At the very least, they can use spatial rings. How convenient would that be? "
Qi Huanzhi forced a smile and said, "Brother White Dragon, when those miners are working, they are not allowed to bring any divine weapons with them except for mining tools.
This was especially true for spatial rings, which could not be worn.
Otherwise, if every miner hides ores and resources, how are we going to manage them? "
"Uh … That's true." The White Dragon nodded in agreement.
At this time, Qi Huanzhi pointed to a tunnel in the corner of the mine and said to Ji Tianxing, "Brother Tianxing, something happened in tunnel number twelve. Let's go and take a look."
Ji Tianxing turned his head and saw that the tunnel had been sealed off by an array formation. There was even a huge rock blocking the entrance.
"Alright."
Therefore, he led Qi Huanzhi and the White Dragon over.
The White Dragon grabbed the huge rock at the entrance with one hand and tossed it aside.
Qi Huanzhi quickly cast a spell and undid the seal formation.
Then, the three of them entered the tunnel and walked toward the mine inside.
The tunnel was gourd-shaped, with a small opening and a large interior.
The mine inside was only twenty thousand feet in radius. It was obvious that it had only been opened a few years ago.
Under normal circumstances, there would be more than three hundred miners working in this mine, digging in all directions.
However, after the incident, the entrance to the mine was sealed off.
There was no one inside. It was dead silent.
The ground was filled with gravel, and the air was filled with dust.
There were many cracks on the surrounding rock walls and a large number of collapsed boulders.
It was obvious that there had been an explosion here, and it was very powerful.
"White Dragon, clear the gravel and check out the mineral veins underground."
Ji Tianxing ordered the White Dragon, pointing at the gravel that covered the ground in the middle of the mine.
The White Dragon quickly waved his palm and cast a spell. He used the power of the Earth Rule and cast two dark yellow whirlwinds.
Swoosh!
The two whirlwinds swept across and quickly cleared the gravel on the ground.
A few gullies and a deep pit that was thirty feet wide were exposed on the ground.
Several mineral veins were exposed in the deep pit and gully. Colorful ores flickered with light.
Ji Tianxing used the Divine Eye Mystic Technique and looked through the ground to observe the mineral vein.
His gaze slowly moved from south to north. After a full ten breaths, he stopped.
"They're all divine stones, gems of six or seven attributes, and four or five divine-level metals.
What a pure mineral vein. It's probably one of the best in the entire Mystic Light Cave. "
Ji Tianxing withdrew his gaze and praised from the bottom of his heart.
Qi Huanzhi quickly nodded and said, "That's right! More than thirty craftsmen came to study this mineral vein and said the same thing. "
Ji Tianxing continued, "Moreover, this mineral vein is very large. It's ten miles wide and more than three hundred miles long. It extends to the bottom of the sea.
What we see in this mine is just the tip of the iceberg. "
Qi Huanzhi became more and more excited. He asked in disbelief, "Really? That's great!
Just this mineral vein alone, once mined, will be worth at least ten billion divine stones! "
But after his excitement, he immediately became discouraged. He asked with a depressed face, "But, no matter how pure and big the mineral vein is, it's useless.
Once the miners start digging, the mineral vein will explode.
A mineral vein that can only be looked at and can't be mined, no matter how good it is, it's useless. "
Ji Tianxing didn't say anything. He stared at the gullies and deep pits and carefully observed them for a while.
He frowned and pondered for ten breaths of time. Suddenly, he thought of something and his eyes flashed.
"Huanzhi, if I'm not wrong, when you took over the Mystic Light Cave, there were two formations in this mine, right?"
Qi Huanzhi quickly nodded and said excitedly, "Yes! You guessed right, there were indeed two formations.
However, when the people of the City Lord's Mansion left, they dismantled the two formations, leaving only the simple formation cores.
My father studied them and found that they were all ordinary heaven-level divine formations. They were useless, so he didn't pay much attention to them. "
Ji Tianxing quickly shook his head and said, "Those two formations look simple, but they're actually very important.
I speculate that one of them is a wind-removing formation. It drains all the air in the mine and maintains a vacuum state.
The other formation should be an ice-type divine formation. It maintains a low temperature in the mine. "
Qi Huanzhi frowned doubtfully and asked, "What are the uses of these two formations?"
Ji Tianxing didn't answer. He thought for a while and continued, "That's right, the City Lord's Mansion only dismantled the two divine formations.
But in fact, when they mine this mineral vein, they will use another kind of material.
Earth Fiend Stone!
Huanzhi, I'll set up those two divine formations. You go and find the Earth Fiend Stone now. The more, the better. "
