Yue Qianchou appeared in the mine and listened carefully. The surroundings were very quiet. He put down the pickaxe and put on the Mountain Piercing Claws. After infusing his True Qi, the gloves immediately became one with his palms. The ten sharp claws were dark and shiny, and he clawed at the wall. Swoosh! Stone chips flew.
Didn't they say that the gloves could feel spiritual energy? Then let's try it! He pressed his claws on the wall. As soon as he calmed down, he felt that the gloves seemed to have an impulse to pull him to the left. Yue Qianchou's heart was beating fast. He really felt spiritual energy. His hands moved according to the feeling from the gloves. It was not until they moved three to four meters from their original position that they stopped.
Although the distance it had moved wasn't far, it was still far from the direction he had intended to dig in. Right in front of him, he could clearly feel the Spirit Stones that he wanted to dig up. Yue Qianchou was very glad. If not for the gloves, no matter how fast he dug, it would be useless.
Baby, I'm coming! Yue Qianchou shouted excitedly in his heart. His ten claws moved, and he rushed at the stone wall in front of him. Swoosh swoosh … There was no sound of clanking. It was like a sharp knife cutting through paper. The stone wall could not withstand a single blow and was destroyed in an instant.
Not long after, a hole a few meters deep was dug. The feeling in front was also getting stronger and stronger, encouraging Yue Qianchou to move forward bravely.
When he clawed down and saw a crystal white part of the stone wall, he could not help but cheer. Then he covered his mouth and laughed secretly. Finally, he dug out a spiritual stone. Suddenly, he remembered that his basket and pickaxe were still in the tunnel outside. He immediately went out and looked around to see that no one was around. He picked up the things and went back into the tunnel.
After digging out the spiritual stone, he held it in his hand and looked at it carefully. This was the first time he found that the spiritual stone was so beautiful. It was crystal clear and cute no matter how he looked at it. Unfortunately, it was only a low-grade spiritual stone. He shook his head and threw the spiritual stone into the basket. Then, he patted his head again. Not knowing what he thought, he picked up the pickaxe and the basket with the low-grade spiritual stone and threw them into his space.
If he continued to work hard, perhaps the Superior Spirit Stones were just ahead. Now that he had an income, he was even more excited. He followed the feeling of Mountain Piercing Claw without stopping. Not long after, the occasional appearance of one or two Spirit Stones on the stone wall gradually increased to several Spirit Stones appearing at the same time. All of them were eagerly put into his own space by his fingers. Although they were all low-grade, he did not reject any of them and did not waste any of the fruits of his labor.
"Holy shit! Great harvest, one, two, three … nine, another ten low-grade spirit stones. "The ten low-grade spirit stones that appeared at the same time disappeared one by one as he counted with his fingers.
After digging nearly a hundred pieces of low-grade spirit stones, a thick white crystal appeared in front of his eyes. It was exactly the same as the middle-grade spirit stone that his master had given him. Needless to say, the first mid-tier spirit stone was in his hands.
As he continued to dig, Yue Qianchou became more and more excited. The density of the spirit stones was getting higher and higher. For every hundred low-grade spirit stones, he would find one mid-grade spirit stone. When he had dug out close to a hundred mid-grade spirit stones, he suddenly felt something strange coming from his Mountain Piercing Claw.
Could it be that high-grade spirit stones were about to appear? Slightly stunned, he immediately dug in that direction without any regard for his life.
Of course, the correct judgment would not disappoint him.
When a light golden spirit stone appeared on the stone wall, Yue Qianchou carefully dug it out. He took off the Mountain Piercing Claw and held it in his hand to carefully examine it. There was no doubt about it. This was a high-grade spirit stone. It was the first time he had seen a high-grade spirit stone. He had heard from his master that it was light golden in color.
The light golden spirit stone was as beautiful as amber. Under the illumination of the fluorite, it exuded an enchanting luster. Looking at it, Yue Qianchou was dazzled. Feeling the rich spiritual energy in the spirit stone in his hand, he really wanted to inhale it into his body, but he still controlled that impulse. Not for anything else, but for the increasing number of high-grade spirit stones. He swallowed his saliva and said, "You want me to hand over such a good thing? Hmph! Even if you beat me to death, I won't do it! "The amber-like crystal disappeared in his hand.
The white fox in the golden bead confirmed her guess. Sure enough, not long after Yue Qianchou disappeared, spirit stones began to fall from the sky. They fell precisely in the courtyard and piled up into a small pile. She just shook her head. Those things were not tempting to her. For a person whose cultivation had reached the late stage of Passing Calamity, she had already reached the peak of the cultivation world. Spirit stones had no effect on her.
Yue Qianchou also discovered the rule of digging spirit stones. Every time he dug in a direction, the first spirit stone he dug would be a low-grade spirit stone. Every hundred low-grade spirit stones would be surrounded by a middle-grade spirit stone, and in nearly a hundred such groups, there would only be one high-grade spirit stone.
After knowing this rule, he was no longer interested in those low-grade spirit stones. It was a waste of time and not worth it. He directly dug out a high-grade spirit stone, which was equivalent to tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones. Only when he was casually digging did he put the middle-grade and low-grade spirit stones into the space.
Counting the time, almost a day had passed. Excluding the half of the day that was wasted, he estimated that he had dug out nearly a hundred high-grade spirit stones, hundreds of middle-grade spirit stones, and thousands of low-grade spirit stones. His mood changed from excitement to disapproval. This was the psychological change from a poor person to a rich person.
He probably didn't know that his income in the half of the day was equivalent to the output of this spirit stone mine in a day. This was naturally due to the contribution of the fox clan's treasure, the Mountain Piercing Claw.
For three consecutive days, he almost non-stop digging. He didn't hand in spirit stones every day like other people. The spirit stones in his hand were enough for him to hand in spirit stones for three days at a time.
However, at the end of the second day, he felt a little hungry. After all, he hadn't reached the Bearing Essence Stage yet. He went to the golden bead and roasted a pheasant to eat. Seeing the pile of spirit stones that almost filled half of the courtyard, he smiled very happily and sighed that his hard work was not in vain.
However, the white fox warned him that if he dared to throw another spirit stone into the courtyard, she would take back the Mountain Piercing Claw. This threat was quite effective. After that, he threw all the spirit stones into the forest outside the courtyard.
The deadline of three days was up. Yue Qianchou came out carrying a basket full of spirit stones. At the entrance of the cave, there were more than ten supervisors counting the spirit stones for the miners. He, who was at the back of the line, had to wait for a while before it was his turn.
Just as he walked over, he heard someone say, "Let me see!" He looked up and saw the fierce-looking Gao Shiping smiling at him.
"Junior Martial Brother Yue, I've been waiting for you to come out! I wonder how you finished the task? "Gao Shiping said with a fake smile.
This guy's attitude wasn't too friendly! Yue Qianchou put the basket on the big table at the entrance of the cave and said with a smile, "It's my first time, so I'm not used to it. Fortunately, I managed to finish the task."
A pile of spirit stones fell on the table, shining brightly. A trace of greed flashed in Gao Shiping's eyes, but it was quickly hidden. All of this fell into Yue Qianchou's eyes. The corner of his mouth slightly curled up, revealing a trace of a smile. The former waved his hand, and two supervisors came over to count the spirit stones.
"Senior Martial Brother Gao! There's something I'd like to ask. "Yue Qianchou gestured for him to speak first.
Gao Shiping frowned. He thought to himself, 'I gave you some face, but you really opened a dye shop. I called you junior martial brother out of politeness, but you really dared to call me brother. Why don't you find out what kind of place this is?' Thinking of the two senior martial brothers' instructions, he could not offend them too much. Perhaps one day, when they returned to Aung Kwang-tsung and gained power, he might have to beg them for help. He walked to the side with a sullen face and said coldly, "Junior Martial Brother Yue, what's the matter?"
"This is my first time here, so I'm afraid that I might have done something wrong. If I've offended you in any way, please forgive me." Yue Qianchou raised his hand and bowed to Gao Shiping. A faint gold color flashed in his hand. He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him. When he lowered his hand, the faint gold color slid into the latter's clothes.
Gao Shiping saw the alluring faint gold color the moment Yue Qianchou raised his hand. He naturally knew what it was, but before he could react, it had already slipped into his clothes.
Gao Shiping's body trembled, and his hand subconsciously pressed on the thing in his abdomen. His eyes flashed as he stared at Yue Qianchou. The temptation of a high grade spirit stone was too great, and he was considering whether or not to accept it. As a Core Formation Stage cultivator, he could only receive 25 middle grade spirit stones every month. A high grade spirit stone could last him for four months! Although he was the supervisor of the spirit stone mine, he had never dared to take a spirit stone from here. If someone found out, the consequences would be unthinkable, especially since there were three Nascent Soul Stage elders guarding this place.
Gao Shiping lowered his voice and said, "It's my duty to take care of Junior Brother, but Junior Brother was sent here by the sect to do hard labor. If you can't complete the task or do something you shouldn't do, I can't take care of you. After all, there are three elders here, and there are some things that I can't decide."
Hearing the meaning behind his words, Gao Shiping could take care of him, but there were some things that he could take care of, and some things that he couldn't. For example, if he couldn't complete the task, or if he stole or absorbed spirit stones.
Damn it! He had the heart of a thief, but no guts! Yue Qianchou rubbed his nose, and patted Gao Shiping's hand that was pressing on his abdomen. He smiled and said, "Senior Brother, don't worry. I definitely won't do anything that would make things difficult for Senior Brother. I just want to live a little more freely here. I believe that this won't make things difficult for Senior Brother!"
Gao Shiping was still a little hesitant, and the supervisor shouted, "Yue Qianchou, the task is completed, and you have received 500 low grade spirit stones. Come over and be inspected. "
"Senior Brother, don't worry!" Yue Qianchou said softly, and walked over. The supervisor took a bronze mirror and looked at it, and didn't find anything unusual.
Gao Shiping, who had been watching the scene, let out a sigh of relief, and shouted to the supervisor, "Watch it closely!" After saying that, he walked over to Yue Qianchou and smiled, "Junior Brother, you got more than 500 low grade spirit stones on your first mining trip. I've been here for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen something like this. I really admire you!" He wasn't being polite. If he included the top grade spirit stone that he collected, it would be 10,500 low grade spirit stones. This was something that had never been seen among the newbies.
"Luck, luck, pure luck. I just happened to come across a good vein." Yue Qianchou said modestly. The two of them chatted and laughed as they left, and the others looked at them in disbelief. Gao Shiping had always been secretly called 'Butcher Gao', and countless miners had died in his hands. When had they ever seen him being so nice to the miners?
