The Taixia Ancient Mining's ship looked very small from the outside. It was about seven to eight meters long and looked like a model. This was to minimize the chances of encountering danger while traveling in the universe.
But once one entered, it was equivalent to entering a pocket world. The ship's cabin was filled with houses and palaces. At a glance, it looked like a miniature town.
In the middle of the town was a striking nine-storied tower. Clearly, it was the residence of the upper echelons of the Taixia Ancient Mining.
And around the nine-storied tower were twelve towers. The white-haired middle-aged man led Yi Yun directly to the top of one of the towers.
"Steward Zhou."
At the top of the tower, a voluptuous woman came forward to welcome them.
She was voluptuous and wore a muslin dress. Her beautiful figure was faintly discernible as she bowed at the white-haired middle-aged man. There was a charming look in between her brows, and every move she made was extremely flirtatious.
"In the future, you will be a member of the Purple Light Hall. Purple Succubus, help him tend to his injuries."
The white-haired middle-aged man's words were very succinct. He left the contract in Purple Succubus's hand and turned to leave.
"Farewell, Steward Zhou."
After the voluptuous woman said that, she stood up. The charming look on her face immediately vanished, replaced by a picky look as she sized up Yi Yun.
This made Yi Yun sigh. This woman changed faces as quickly as flipping a page in a book.
"The contract is for a hundred years …" Purple Succubus looked at the contract as her charming face suffused a teasing smile. "Let's hope you can live until then."
Purple Succubus took out a wooden box from a spatial artifact that resembled a wristband and handed it to Yi Yun. She said, "This is for you. I'll make it clear in advance that my Purple Light Hall does not support idlers. If you do not hand over the item, I will be heartless. I will also not pay you any wages. In the Taixia Ancient Mining, not being paid can lead to death."
Yi Yun did not say a word as he scanned the wooden box with his perception. He knew that there were a few stones in the box. They were gray in texture and there were specks of fluorescence hidden within.
This is …
Yi Yun pricked up his brows. He could sense an extremely pure Heaven Earth Yuan Qi from the stones. It was many times purer than a Godly Monarch Immortal Annulus. However … it was too little.
"Could this be a Chaos Crystal?" Yi Yun asked Bai Yueyin with a voice transmission.
Bai Yueyin said, "This is obviously not a Chaos Crystal. It's a Chaos Ore. Chaos Crystals are extracted from these ores. In the Chaos Heavens, Chaos Crystals are extremely precious. Typical warriors can't bear to use Chaos Crystals, nor can they afford them. Replacing them are Chaos Ores. Ores also have grades.
"Understood …"
Yi Yun shook his head. It was no wonder he had so little Yuan Qi. He had a robust foundation and his dantian was like a sea. Now that all his Yuan Qi was drained, he needed large amounts of energy to replenish it. This bit of Chaos Ore was like trying to put out a burning cart of firewood with a cup of water.
Furthermore, there was a Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm sleeping in Yi Yun's God Advent Tower. Although the little fellow was tiny, it was a super glutton. That bit of crude ore was not even enough to fill the gaps between its teeth.
"What? Is it too little? "Purple Succubus sensed Yi Yun's thoughts.
Yi Yun hesitated for a moment before saying, "I have yet to recover from my serious injuries. Can I advance my future salary?"
"Hmm? You want to advance your salary without even doing anything? Although your dantian is injured, the Chaos Ore I gave you is enough to replenish about seventy to eighty percent of your stamina. Are you still not satisfied? "Purple Succubus pricked up her brows as she grunted coldly.
Yi Yun frowned when he heard that. For typical juniors, the amount of ores was definitely enough, but to him, it was nothing.
He said, "Although I'm asking for an advance salary, I will not escape with the contract in place."
"Hmph, this is the multiverse's void. Where can you escape to? I'm not worried about you escaping at all. However, the Chaos Crystal mineral vein contains all sorts of unexpected dangers. If you are unlucky and die the first time you enter the mine, wouldn't the salary I'm giving you be gone!? "
As Purple Succubus spoke, she impatiently waved her hand, gesturing for Yi Yun to take his leave.
Yi Yun shook his head. The Taixia Ancient Mining was not like the ancient sects in the Sinkhole. Instead, it was more like a company on Earth. Mining was their main business, and they pursued profits. Purple Succubus was no different.
"Yi Yun, in the Chaos Heavens, wealth is extremely important. It's not strange for Purple Succubus to do so. In the Sinkhole, although Godly Monarch Immortal Annuli are used as currency, the truly precious treasures are exchanged with other items. No one would use them to exchange for Godly Monarch Immortal Annuli. However, the Chaos Heavens is different. The purchasing power of Chaos Crystals here is extremely powerful. It can be used to buy truly rare treasures. Many a time, the combat strength of a faction in the Chaos Heavens is directly proportional to its wealth. For the Taixia Ancient Mining to be able to get a share of the Chaos Crystal mineral vein, it shows that it has an extraordinary heritage. "
"Got it …" Yi Yun nodded. From the looks of it, even the crude ores were worth quite a bit. In the multiverse's barrier, Chaos Crystals were life.
Yi Yun opened the box. Apart from the few grayish ores, there was a booklet named Taixia Booklet. It introduced the Chaos Crystal mineral vein and the general situation of the Taixia Ancient Mining.
The Taixia Ancient Mining had a history of tens of millions of years. It governed three branches, namely the combat branch, mining branch, and logistics branch.
Yi Yun was a member of the Purple Light Hall under the mining branch. As for Purple Succubus, she was the deputy hall master of the Purple Light Hall.
Yi Yun's identity token was also inside. He was a low-grade miner.
To a miner, mining Chaos Crystals was not only a mission that had to be completed, but it was also a guarantee of survival.
Without Chaos Crystals to replenish their energy, they would forever be lacking in Yuan Qi. Then, they would be powerless to deal with danger in the Chaos Crystal mineral vein. It was also possible for other miners to kill and rob them.
The poorer they were, the more they did not dare venture deep into the Chaos Crystal mineral vein. That made them even poorer and weaker. Such a vicious cycle resulted in many miners dying.
A hundred years might not seem like a long time, but the vast majority of miners could not even live for a hundred years.
The Chaos Heavens sure was cruel!
With this in mind, Yi Yun followed the booklet's instructions and came to the corresponding residence in Purple Light Hall. There were many rooms in Purple Light Hall, but most of them were empty.
Yi Yun knew from the booklet that it was not because it was full in the beginning. On the contrary, when a mining spirit cruiser set off, the cabin would typically be more than eighty percent full. However, as the mining spirit cruiser began work in space, the number of people would decrease. And this mining spirit cruiser had been working in the void for more than ten years.
In more than ten years, more than seventy percent of the crew had perished!
This situation was not optimistic for the present Yi Yun. He was too weak and needed Chaos Crystals to recover his Yuan Qi. It was unrealistic to count on the meager salary. He needed to think of other solutions. As long as he recovered his strength, no problems would be a problem.
