Sister Hong obtained her first piece of Thousand Leaf Silver, and Lei Xingfeng also dug up his first piece of Thousand Leaf Silver. He had drawn dozens of circles, and it was enough for everyone to dig, so he also chose a circle and started digging.
The excavation of Thousand Leaf Silver was very interesting. The rocks here were in the shape of sheets, and one had to smash down a large piece to determine if there was Thousand Leaf Silver inside. If one felt that there was, one would use a small hammer to knock down layers of rock, and the Thousand Leaf Silver would be inside the rock layer.
Lei Xingfeng could accurately determine if there was Thousand Leaf Silver in the large piece of rock that was knocked down. With this technique, he quickly obtained a piece of Thousand Leaf Silver.
It really was the remains of an ancient insect that looked like a leaf. Even if it was taken out at this time, it still had a complete shape, like a soft metal. It was an extremely thin piece, only the size of a child's palm, and was extremely beautiful. It had a head, a body, and eight pairs of extremely small legs.
In a short period of time, Lei Xingfeng had already peeled off eight pieces of Thousand Leaf Silver.
The others also started to gain something. Because the Thousand Leaf Silver was extremely thin and hidden in the rock layer, if one was not careful, they would overlook it. In the process of peeling off the rock, it was very likely that they would peel off a useless layer, and the layer with Thousand Leaf Silver would be overlooked. Therefore, even if they had the range that Lei Xingfeng had drawn, their gains were still not as good as Lei Xingfeng's.
Basically, there was a circle every three to five meters that extended all the way into the depths of the cave. Lei Xingfeng was digging in the deepest part of the cave. Behind him, a pile of oil wood was burning. Not only could it be used for warmth, it could also illuminate the surroundings.
Song Yao carefully peeled off the rock layer. His speed was very slow, but he was the most stable. He found that if he carefully peeled off the rocks in the area that Lei Xingfeng had drawn, he would definitely gain something. In a short period of time, he had already peeled off three pieces of Thousand Leaf Silver, and two of them were damaged. Thousand Leaf Silver was very important in its integrity. Once it was broken, its value would plummet.
A half meter tall rock was smashed down, and then it needed to be handled patiently. Peeling off the rock layer by layer was a very meticulous work, and it was also very tiring. Those who were impatient would not be able to endure it at all. Fortunately, Xin Zhaolun and the others were not young anymore. To be able to cultivate to the ninth ring, who had not suffered great hardships? one by one, they all patiently collected Leaf Silver. This kind of opportunity might only come once in a lifetime, and no one would waste it.
This time, whoever dug it out would own it. There was no need to divide it evenly, so everyone worked very hard.
When Lei Xingfeng collected his tenth piece of Thousand Leaf Silver, the one who had the most was Song Yao. He had only collected five complete pieces of Thousand Leaf Silver. He was already very satisfied with three pieces of broken Thousand Leaf Silver. One had to know that when he came to mine in the past, he would only be able to collect two to three complete pieces of Thousand Leaf Silver in an entire day. The rest would be broken. This was also why he felt that Thousand Leaf Silver was so difficult to obtain.
This time, according to Song Yao, they would only stay for ten days. After ten days, they would immediately go to the Lahu mine. That was the mine that Xin Zhaolun was most interested in.
Ten days was very short. Everyone worked hard to dig out more Thousand Leaf Silver, hoping that they would be able to obtain enough Thousand Leaf Silver before leaving.
After ten hours of work, Lei Xingfeng had collected more than four hundred complete pieces of Thousand Leaf Silver. As for the broken pieces, Lei Xingfeng basically gave them up. He was too lazy to peel off these broken pieces. If he had the time, he would rather look for complete pieces of Thousand Leaf Silver.
Even if one peeled off a complete piece of Thousand Leaf Silver, it would take a lot of patience to peel off a piece of Thousand Leaf Silver. If one was not careful, they would fail. This thing was very fragile. Therefore, Lei Xingfeng carefully put the Thousand Leaf Silver into boxes. Because the Thousand Leaf Silver was very thin, fifty pieces could only fit into one small box. After ten hours of work, he only managed to put a little more than eight boxes.
Song Yao had collected more than a hundred pieces of Thousand Leaf Silver in ten hours. The number of broken pieces was more than four hundred. It was no wonder. Lei Xingfeng could directly sense which layer had Thousand Leaf Silver. Song Yao, on the other hand, didn't have this ability, so it was inevitable that she would be careless. Even so, Song Yao was very satisfied. This harvest was already more than what she had gotten in two trips.
The others had at least fifty to sixty pieces of Thousand Leaf Silver. Everyone was very satisfied. According to Song Yao, one piece of Thousand Leaf Silver could be exchanged for at least one Yin Ring. If the opportunity was good and they happened to meet a Monarch who needed Thousand Leaf Silver, it wasn't impossible to exchange one piece of Thousand Leaf Silver for two or three Yin Rings.
Eating, sleeping, mining. In these ten days, no one dared to slack off. Other than Lei Xingfeng, who could still guarantee his own rest and cultivation, everyone else's time was basically spent on mining. This opportunity was too hard to come by. It would be unthinkable to let it go.
Although Lei Xingfeng was also very hardworking, he was still lacking compared to the others. However, his harvest was much more than the others. He only worked about ten hours a day. The rest of the time was spent on cultivation, sleep, and familiarizing himself with the Chaos Wheel and Lei Yin. Just by mining for ten hours, his harvest was frightening. He had collected more than five thousand pieces of Thousand Leaf Silver, and all of them were complete pieces.
Other than Lei Xingfeng, Song Yao's harvest wasn't small either. She had almost two thousand pieces of Thousand Leaf Silver. Of course, there were even more broken pieces.
After resting for half a day, Song Yao led the group back on the road.
The Laka Mine was very close to the Thousand Leaf Silver Mine. It was also in this mountain, but they had to go around to the other side. It took them two days to reach their destination.
XinFeng reached his destination and immediately understood, this was a cave that was dug into the cliff. Who knew how many people had come here, there were broken stones everywhere, the entire cliff was filled with holes, some deep, some shallow, the cliff was filled with holes, the ground was filled with small mountains of broken stones.
"This is the place," Song Qiao said. "It's the famous Laka mine. Many Monarchs have come here before. Everyone, be careful. If you meet someone, try not to get into a fight. The chances of meeting a Monarch here are quite high. Many newly ascended Monarchs come here in search of Laka ore to refine their own secret door."
There are also Ninth Ring Sages like Xin Zhaolun who come here in advance to prepare materials. "
Lei Xingfeng understood that Sages like Jin Daya had a slight chance of breaking through. Sages like Jin Daya definitely wouldn't come here to dig for Laka Mine. They had no hope of breaking through at all. They would be satisfied if they could reach the level of a Ninth Ring Sage.
Laka Mine was a type of crystal that had to be refined with Biya Silk, Void Crystal, and other materials to form the main body of a secret door. Therefore, Laka Mine was an indispensable material for a Monarch.
This was a green crystal. It was only as thick as a pinky finger and about an inch long. These things were basically found in nests in the rocks. Either one couldn't dig out a single large Lachi crystal, or one could dig out a nest of large Lachi crystals. This was the reason why there were pits of all sizes on the cliff. The people who came here to dig were all trying their luck. Even if they dug randomly, they would still gain something.
XinFeng observed carefully but couldn't see any signs, the surface layer of Lahu ores had been completely wiped clean, there were no signs at all.
"This place should be empty … I don't know if there's more inside."
Lei Xingfeng said regretfully. Xin Zhaolun immediately tensed up.
"No more? A Feng, that can't be, right? "
Xin Zhaolun looked extremely disappointed.
Song Qiao laughed. "It'd be a miracle if there was more. The surface layer is long gone. Follow me, I know where we can find more." He flew up along the cliff.
The others followed suit.
Above them was a huge cave. The entrance to the cliff looked like it had been gnawed by a dog. The entrance was about ten meters high and twenty meters wide. It was a very large mine.
Song Qiao smiled. "Back then, a vein of ore was found here. The person who found it made a fortune. He used the Laka Mine to trade for all the materials he needed to make a secret door. He even got more than three. Later on, he became known as the Monarch of Three Doors. Others used one door, but he used three! He also used the Laka Mine to trade for a large number of Yin rings. He trained a large number of subordinates, all of them eighth and ninth ringed experts. "
Xin Zhaolun was shocked. "Three secret doors? How much material would that require? Terrifying! "
Song Qiao said. "Three secret doors, hehe. Plus the experts he trained, he could go to many places to mine. This guy is a millionaire, famous even among the Monarchs."
Lei Xingfeng said, "Was this where the vein was found?"
Song Qiao said. "Yes, it was here. Even now, the Laka Mine hasn't been emptied, even though many people have come. Alright, let's go in and look. We'll have to rely on A Feng again. Maybe we can find another vein. Hehe, we'll be rich."
It was a good wish, but as Lei Xingfeng went deeper into the vein, he found that it had been thoroughly excavated. Once a vein of ore was found, and the Laka Mine was a necessity for Monarchs, how could there still be a lot left? It was unrealistic.
Going all the way to the bottom, XinFeng didn't find anything, not even a small vein. He spoke, "I'll go out and search, although this cliff has been emptied, I believe that as long as there's still a Laka mine, I'll be able to find it."
Everyone heard this and followed Lei Xingfeng out.
Lei Xingfeng didn't pay attention to the excavated cliff anymore. He flew along the cliff until he was blocked by a layer of ice. Lei Xingfeng said, "Break this layer of ice. Let's go take a look."
Song Qiao personally went out and broke the ice that was connected to the cliff. Soon, they arrived at another cliff. There were a few caves here and there, but they were all very shallow.
Xin Zhaolun said, "Someone dug here too … Well, only a little. Maybe there's nothing here at all."
