Chapter 52: Yinshan Mine (Part 2)
Cui Sheng nodded, "That's right. If you don't come out for five years, whether you're dead or alive, once you come out, the array will strike you dead. So, junior sister, don't stay in the mine for too long. Even if Master Xuan Cheng intervenes, it will be useless when the array erases you."
Cui Sheng then took Jiang Yuebai to familiarize her with the dining and resting areas, gave her two mining picks, and provided her with tindersticks and ten small light talismans.
Finally, Cui Sheng led Hong Tao and Jiang Yuebai to a specific mine entrance.
"Junior sister, you've been through a lot today. Shouldn't you take a day to rest and have something to eat before going down to the mine?"
Jiang Yuebai shook her head, "Thanks for your concern, Manager Cui. I find mining quite intriguing, and I want to go down and take a look."
Cui Sheng chuckled at the childishness in his heart and didn't stop her.
"The Jia Chou No. 1 mine is currently one of the richest veins in the entire Yinshan Mine. Be cautious when you go down, junior sister. As long as you find good ore veins, achieving a daily quota of a hundred won't be a problem."
"But there's one thing, occasionally, there are beasts skilled in traversing through mountains in the underground. Most of them live in groups. It's extremely dangerous for an individual to encounter them. Be careful when you're mining."
"Thanks, Manager Cui."
"And this 'Mad Thunder Body Refining Technique.' was originally something everyone had to purchase individually. Today, due to the affinity with junior sister, I'll give you a copy."
Cui Sheng handed a book to Jiang Yuebai, who received it with a puzzled look.
Cui Sheng explained, "Although the underground is rich in spiritual energy, it's adjacent to the desolate ancient Thunder Abyss. The thunder elemental force in the spiritual energy can cause damage to meridians and dantian if it lingers inside the body. You need a separate technique to digest the thunder elemental force. This body refining technique is owned by every cultivator here. It enhances physical strength and allows you to mine more. It's a win-win."
Hong Tao added, "It's a common Ninth-grade body refining technique, very suitable for this place."
Jiang Yuebai expressed her gratitude to Cui Sheng once again.
"Over there, that one, Lao Peng, take this Junior Sister Jiang down the mine. And tell Fan Mazai not to cause any trouble!"
Jiang Yuebai looked at Hong Tao, who nodded.
"Take care of yourself. I'll come to pick you up in two years."
Jiang Yuebai nodded and followed Lao Peng, who was called over by Cui Sheng, into the pitch-black cave, stepping into the unknown.
Lao Peng, holding a torch, walked ahead. As he walked, he secretly assessed Jiang Yuebai. Seeing her at the Fourth Level of Qi Refining at such a young age, he couldn't help but envy.
Envy aside, there was still mockery in his heart. No matter how powerful you are, you still got sent here. Who knows, maybe you'll be forgotten in two years and die in some corner of the mine, and nobody will know.
Thinking of this, Lao Peng's steps became lighter.
Jiang Yuebai jogged behind, following him. The mine was dark, with many forked paths. Whenever she caught up and asked which way to go, Lao Peng would coldly sneer and not answer. He led her in a zigzag pattern, continuously moving deeper.
After descending two or three layers, several hundred feet deep, the mine passage became narrow, and the air became stifling and oppressive, like drowning in water, making it difficult to breathe.
The light of the torch was also dim, and Jiang Yuebai had completely forgotten the way she came.
All she saw were traces of excavation around the mine passage. There were no visible veins of spiritual stone; only tiny remnants of spiritual stones sparkled faintly on the mountain walls.
"Where are you taking me?"
Jiang Yuebai shouted loudly, and she saw a mine passage with a carving of a leaf on the mountain wall. The spiritual energy inside was dense, shining with brilliant starlight in the darkness.
Lao Peng didn't answer, and Jiang Yuebai stopped.
"I'm not going any further. I want to mine here."
After speaking, she walked towards another mine passage. After a few steps, she indeed saw clusters of crystals embedded in the mountain wall, shining with various colors. It was a spiritual stone vein.
Jiang Yuebai reached out to touch them, and Lao Peng rushed over, shouting anxiously.
"Don't touch it, don't touch it! This is Ye Lianyi's mine."
Jiang Yuebai withdrew her hand and turned to look. Lao Peng was anxiously trying to pull her away.
"Who dares to touch my mine?"
A woman in blue emerged from the darkness, carrying a mining pick, with a fierce look. Three male cultivators followed behind her.
The leading muscular man with triangular eyes and a pockmarked face grabbed the woman's shoulder, sneered, and spat to the side.
"Where did this little girl come from? Did she drop down for me to have an extra meal?"
Laughter echoed, and the pockmarked man's two companions looked at Jiang Yuebai with ill intentions.
The leading woman, wearing a blue robe, was ruthless. Behind her were two Seventh layer Qi Refining cultivators, and one of them was holding a bloody arm.
Cui Sheng then took Jiang Yuebai to familiarize her with the dining and resting areas, gave her two mining picks, and provided her with tindersticks and ten small light talismans.
Finally, Cui Sheng led Hong Tao and Jiang Yuebai to a specific mine entrance.
