Barnien looked around and quickly locked onto the original mountain. "Assistant Wang, follow me. I remember where it is."
He cast a wind spell. An invisible force dragged his body, allowing him to move quickly.
Wang Xing and Belom followed behind. They soon arrived at a cratered place.
"It's here," Barnien said confidently. "Thankfully, the mine is still here."
Wang Xing had already seen that this place was at the edge of the battlefield, so the damage wasn't too serious. However, the entrance was blocked by rocks and debris from the battle just now. It needed to be cleaned up.
Wang Xing didn't have to do anything. Barnien chanted a spell, and a ball of crimson flames fell into the cave.
The temperature of the flames was so high that the rocks were melted into liquid. The air also became hot. Gradually, a cave entrance appeared.
Wang Xing walked in first. It was pitch black inside. They couldn't see the surroundings at all, but it wasn't a problem for the three of them. Barnien cast a fire spell. Lines of fire immediately appeared on the walls around them.
They kept walking forward. The path ahead became wider and wider, deeper and deeper.
Around 1,300 meters underground, the mine finally stopped descending. There was a space as big as a football field here.
Around this space, there were a dozen slightly smaller mines that could fit around three adults walking side by side.
Wang Xing already saw people going in and out of the mines. They were all exhausted and disheveled. They were clearly slaves doing hard labor.
"They're criminals caught by the Magic Association," Barnien said. "They're mainly Warriors and Vampires."
Wang Xing walked to the center of the mine. He saw a box that was used to store spiritual stones. There were only two spiritual stones inside.
Taking out the two spiritual stones, Wang Xing could feel the energy contained in them.
"This … Sir, these spiritual stones belong to the Kunlun Sect," a miner said.
"The people of the Kunlun Sect are all dead. From now on, this place will be managed by the Magic Association … Sendai Gakuin," Barnien shouted. "What are you waiting for? Go and dig for spiritual stones. If you can't dig out three spiritual stones this month, you'll suffer."
The miners were shocked and hurriedly took their tools and entered the mine.
They were used to this kind of life.
"Isn't there a spirit stone mine here? Why are spirit stones so hard to mine?" Wang Xing asked.
"Assistant Wang, you may not know this, but Spirit Stones were originally ordinary stones. After absorbing the energy of the universe, they became Spirit Stones. However, the conditions for such a transformation were very harsh, and there was also a great deal of chance involved. Sometimes, in a large area, there may only be one or two stones that can turn into spirit stones. Sometimes, there are dozens of them. "
The distribution of spirit stones was not stable, so it was not difficult to understand why it was difficult to dig them out.
"Then why do you say that this is a spirit stone mine?"
"It's very simple. We didn't just dig out a single spirit stone from here. Furthermore, there are spirit stones mined from all around this area. We looked for the scientists on Earth to study it. They said that this phenomenon means that the environment in this area is easier to form spirit stones. On Earth, this is called a mineral vein. Therefore, according to Earth's terminology, we call this place a spirit stone vein. "
Wang Xing nodded. "That's true. How is the production of this spirit stone vein now?"
"We have a total of more than 120 people digging here every day. In a month, we can dig out about three spirit stones. However, this is not necessarily true. Sometimes, if we are unlucky, we may not dig out a single spirit stone. Of course, there are also times when we are particularly lucky. I remember that time, we dug out almost 50 spirit stones in a month. "
Digging for spirit stones was all based on luck.
However, 120 people could only dig out a few spirit stones a month. Sometimes, they could not even dig out a single spirit stone. This showed how precious spirit stones were.
Wang Xing entered a mine. He wanted to use his mental strength to investigate the spirit stones, but he found that his mental strength's penetration was too weak. He could only investigate the situation within three meters. Only when he cultivated his divine sense could he use his primordial spirit to quickly find spirit stones.
After leaving the spirit stone mine, Wang Xing planned to ask Mu Liuli about the progress of the spirit stones.
"Assistant Wang, those three people are gone," Belom exclaimed.
"Gone?" Wang Xing looked around. The four corpses were still there, but Ji Rulong and the other two were nowhere to be seen. "I've already restrained their cultivation. They can't leave on their own. If that's the case, someone must have rescued them. "
In the space, Wang Xing could already feel the residual spatial fluctuations.
"Four of their people died. They will definitely take revenge. They don't dare to take revenge on Sendai Gakuin, but they will definitely attack the Association of Mages. "
Banyan thought of something. The Association of Mages was at its weakest now. If they were attacked by several other forces, they would be reduced to ashes in an instant.
Belom's face was also filled with fear. Clearly, this was very likely.
"Since Sendai Gakuin has accepted you as a subordinate force, they will naturally protect you. Let's return to Earth first. I have my ways to deal with them. "
Wang Xing used a seal to open a spatial door. The three of them directly arrived at the western lands.
Wang Xing did not dawdle. He followed the two to the temporary residence of the Association of Mages. It was a medieval European church that covered more than ten acres.
There were only around two thousand Mages left. It was not even half of the original Association of Mages.
After the battle, most of the Mages left the Association of Mages. Many of them were recruited by the Association of Soldiers.
"Are you planning to rebuild the Association of Mages here?" Wang Xing saw many people renovating the houses.
"Yes, there's a church here. There are enough rooms. It's also secluded enough. It's very suitable for Mages to live here," Banyan explained.
"Alright, find me a secluded place. I want to place something there." Wang Xing already saw the teleportation door stored in the System. He had received the reward for a long time, but he had never found a place to put it. However, it was fine now. He could place the teleportation door at the Association of Mages. This way, if other forces wanted to attack the Association of Mages in the future, he would only need to use the teleportation door to arrive instantly.
Banyan and Belom led Wang Xing to the basement of the church. There was a secret room of a hundred square meters.
The ceiling of the secret room was decorated with fluorescent stones. Ancient wall lamps hung on the walls. Many abstract paintings were painted on the pillars. There were twelve armchairs in the middle of the room.
Wang Xing nodded. "Very good, this is the place."
He waved his hand. The teleportation door appeared in the middle of the room. It floated there, emitting a misty blue light.
