"Senior Song, have you heard of the Thousand-Sound Ice Mountain?" Yi Xinpu asked in a hushed voice.
"I do." Song Qiao nodded.
"There's a ten-thousand-year-old copper-crystal mine there," Yi Xinpu said. "I'm sure you know what it's used for."
Xin Zhaolun couldn't help but look surprised. "A large copper-crystal mine? Are you kidding? How could something like that form a large deposit? Copper-Crystal is a unique material here, and it's only found in small quantities. "
"Just because you haven't seen it before doesn't mean it doesn't exist," Yi Xinpu said.
Xin Zhaolun didn't say anything. He also hoped to get his hands on copper-crystal. It was one of the main materials for building a hidden door. He came here mainly for Biyasi. If he was lucky enough to get his hands on a few pieces, that would be even better. He didn't expect there to be a large copper-crystal mine here.
"Is this information accurate?" Song Qiao asked.
"It's accurate," Yi Zhong said. "However, it's very difficult to get there. The Thousand-Sound Ice Mountain is behind the Ice Cave Plains. Getting there is difficult enough, let alone going through it. You all know that we can only stay in the Ice Cave Plains for a few dozen days. Without the help of a Monarch, it's impossible to get to the Thousand-Sound Ice Mountain."
XinFeng came to a realization, immediately understanding the intentions of these three fellows, they wanted to use Song Yao's strength to send them over. He didn't oppose this method, it was mutually beneficial, they provided the information while Song Yao was responsible for sending them over. Of course, the benefits brought by the information would be shared by everyone.
Jin Daya kept frowning as he muttered, "Copper crystals? Copper-Crystal … Why does it sound so familiar? Uh, I can't remember. "
"What can't you remember?" Xin Zhaolun asked.
Jin Daya said, "The name Copper Crystal sounds very familiar, but I can't remember why …"
"What do you mean why?" Xin Zhaolun asked. "Copper-Crystal is called Fengmo Copper."
Jin Daya clapped. "That's right, Fengmo Copper! This is Fengmo Copper. Hehe, this is good stuff. "
"Sending you there isn't a problem," Song Qiao said. "But you should know that Qianyin Ice Mountain isn't an easy place to live. There are many ice beasts there, and the weather is getting warmer. They'll appear soon. With your strength, you can handle them, but it'll be very dangerous."
Yi Zhong smiled and said, "Don't we have you, Senior? Haha."
Song Yao smiled and said, "Alright, these three brats know how to behave. How about this, let's go together. We were planning to go to the Ice Cave anyway, so let's go to the Thousand Sound Ice Mountain first and see how much Copper Crystal we can find."
Lei Xingfeng also understood the importance of materials. During his advancement in cultivation, he had spent a lot of precious materials just to refine Lei Yin. He had also borrowed a lot of materials, all of which had to be returned. Even if he couldn't return the original materials, he could replace them with other materials. Therefore, he was anxious to go out and find ores.
Hong Jie came out and said, "Take me with you this time."
Xin Zhaolun nodded and said, "Little Junior Sister has someone to protect her, right?"
Hong Jie nodded. "Yes, no problem. She's just cultivating at home. It's very fast here. After her advancement, she's already consolidated it. As long as she practices enough, it's not impossible for her to advance again."
To Miao Ling, mining was meaningless. Her greatest reward was to cultivate here. However, as her bodyguard, Sister Hong had to consider more. Therefore, if there was a chance to mine, she wouldn't fall behind. She didn't participate last time, but this time, no matter what, she had to participate.
Song Yao frowned. There were too many people. Fortunately, opening the door in the same world didn't cost too much. Otherwise, he'd have a headache. "Alright, let's count the people. If there are more, it won't be easy. Do you want to tire me to death?"
Xin Zhaolun said, "No problem. We only have this many people."
Lei Xingfeng brought Jin Daya, Mad Eagle, and Tiger Love. There were four people in total. Xin Zhaolun didn't bring Xiao Diya. Xiao Diya's level was too low. If he followed, it would be too dangerous. Xin Zhaolun didn't have the confidence to protect him, so he didn't bring him. The last to join was Hong Jie. Chuizi and Mad Axe had returned. They'd gotten a lot of food, so they didn't have to risk their lives with the others.
Then there was Yi Zhong and the other two.
Song Yao counted and said, "There are nine people in total. Including me, that's ten. Hmm, that's a bit too many. Forget it, I'll work a bit harder to bring everyone. But I have a request. I hope you won't refuse."
Xin Zhaolun said, "Senior, please tell us."
Song Qiao said, "No matter what we get, I want twenty percent."
Xin Zhaolun nodded. "No problem, I agree. But we also have a little … uh, hope for you." He didn't dare say it out loud.
Song Yao nodded. "Go ahead."
Xin Zhaolun said, "Protect all of us."
Song Yao was very straightforward. In this world, his martial strength was considered top-notch. There was basically nothing that could threaten him, so he agreed without hesitation. "How about the three of you? Can you agree to my conditions? "
Yi Zhong also agreed without hesitation. This condition wasn't harsh at all. Even if Song Yao asked for half, they would still agree. This was a rare opportunity. The difficult part was how to reach the destination. With Song Yao around, they would be saved a lot of trouble.
Song Yao was very satisfied. Twenty percent of the total income didn't seem like much, but if everyone took twenty percent of their gains, it would be a lot when added together. He was very happy. There were so many people working for him, and he didn't have to pay anything. There was no difference between one person and ten people using the secret door. It was the same whether he went by himself or with others.
As for safety, as long as they didn't run into any abnormal ice beasts, there wouldn't be any problems. These people weren't ordinary cultivators. They were all Ninth Ring Sages. Even Lei Xingfeng was strong. In other words, he was getting twenty percent for free. What was there to be dissatisfied with?
Song Qiao said, "Very good. What preparations do you all have? If not, we can leave now."
As cultivators, everything was stored in their Hidden Lun space. They could leave at any time.
Xin Zhaolun looked at everyone. Lei Xingfeng nodded. "We have no problems."
Hong Jie said, "I have no problems either."
Xin Zhaolun said, "Senior, we can leave now."
Yi Zhong, Yi Xinpu, and Yi Xue looked at each other. Yi Zhong said, "We have no problems either."
Song Qiao said, "Good. Let's go." He waved his hands and a door suddenly appeared. "Let's go!"
Everyone entered in a single file. Song Yao waited until the last person entered the secret door before entering it. The moment Song Yao entered, the secret door disappeared.
Using the Hidden Door, they arrived at the Thousand Sound Ice Mountain.
Lei Xingfeng walked out of the Hidden Door and heard countless voices. Some were whispers, some were the roars of tigers, some were the cries of eagles, some were the cries of laments, and some were the sounds of blades cutting through the air. There were all kinds of strange sounds, sometimes high and sometimes low. It made him dizzy.
Xin Zhaolun cheered. "As expected of the Thousand Sound Ice Mountain," he said.
Song Qiao followed. "It's just the sound of the wind," he said.
The Thousand Sound Ice Mountain was actually an ice mountain range. There were countless ice cavities on the mountain. Wherever the wind blew, the ice cavities would make all kinds of sounds. That was how it got its name.
Song Qiao said, "I've been here a few times. I've only found a few types of ores. This is the first time I've heard of a copper mine."
After Yi Zhong and the others came out, they kept looking at their surroundings. After about twenty minutes, Yi Zhong finally figured out where they were. "Come with me. Fortunately, the cold weather is over. The wind is at its weakest right now, so we can all fly. But make sure to stay close to the ground. Don't go too high, or you'll attract the attacks of the ice beasts."
Mad Eagle and Tiger Love came to Lei Xingfeng's side, one on each side. They grabbed Lei Xingfeng's arms. Mad Eagle smiled. "We'll carry you first."
Lei Xingfeng remembered that he could already fly, but he'd never done it before. Mad Eagle and Tiger Love came to his side to help him get used to flying. He thanked them in a low voice. He was a little excited. With the help of the two, he followed the others.
Mad Eagle and Tiger Love let go of his arms from time to time. After a few times, Lei Xingfeng gradually got used to it. Slowly, he could fly at low altitudes on his own. Although he wasn't used to it yet, he was slowly getting the hang of it.
After flying for more than an hour, Yi Zhong and the others landed in an ice valley. Yi Zhong came to Song Qiao. "Senior, they should be nearby. I hope you can scan the area."
Song Qiao nodded. His body suddenly flickered and disappeared without a trace. After a few breaths of time, Song Qiao reappeared. "Isn't this the mining area you found?"
Yi Zhong's expression was calm. "Yes, I got the news by chance. Haha, there should be people here."
Song Qiao nodded. "There are six people. Three Ninth Ring Sages and three Eighth Ring Sages. They aren't very strong. What do you plan to do?"
Yi Zhong was very cunning. "We'll follow senior's orders."
Xin Zhaolun wasn't stupid. "We'll follow senior's orders," he said.
Song Qiao sighed. "Twenty percent won't be easy to get. Alright, since that's the case, we'll drive them away. If they resist, kill them all. Don't let a single one escape."
Only now did XinFeng realize how ruthless Song Yao was. He silently reminded himself that in this world, he had to be careful. This world was different from his previous one. Even if there were conflicts in his previous life, even if there was hatred, it wouldn't reach the point of life and death. However, in this world, there wasn't any hatred, one could be killed for no reason.
With Song Qiao's support, Yi Zhong and the others became excited and rushed forward.
