Chapter 90 - Two

Chapter 90 – Two

“This idea has been on Old Chu’s mind for a long time. He originally planned to tell you later, but he just heard that you’re leaving. If you don’t say anything now, he won’t have the chance.”

Yang Junshan asked curiously: “Are you certain I would agree?”

Chu Chuang shook his head and said, “I can’t be sure, but if I don’t try, how would I know!?”

Yang Junshan said seriously: “Firstly, this matter, I can only pass down a single message to my father, after all, I am unable to make the decision for myself; secondly, to be honest, how much clay powder can you two gather up now? How much powdered can you guys grind from the mines other than the spiritual valley? If the powder that I have accumulated can only be exchanged for three to four hundred kilograms of spiritual valley, why would my father need to go from Mengyu County to Chenyu County forip? ”

When Chu Chuang heard the first sentence that Yang Junshan had said, a smile appeared on his face, but after hearing the second sentence, his expression darkened and he couldn’t help but sigh. His mouth wiggled, but in the end, he didn’t say anything.

What Yang Junshan said was also the truth. From Mengyu County to Chenyu County, even if a carriage was able to move for a day and two nights, it would still take a day and a night even if they were able to move a little faster.

Moreover, this new year requires spiritual valley to travel through the two counties in a food cart that is completely full. In order to prevent arousing the jealousy of the two families, they need at least a martial arts realm expert to stand in their way and buy a hammer’s worth of powder from the Cyan Tree villager’s hands. It truly isn’t worth it.

In the evening, Yang Junshan had returned to the mine tunnel from the day before, and brought a basket of raw ore with him. After saying goodbye to Chu Chuang, he carried the basket of refined ore on his back, and left. He could tell that Chu Chuang seemed to want to say something to him, but in the end, it seemed that he was worried and did not say anything.

On the third day, Yang Junshan dug out another small cave from the bottom of the tunnel. After harvesting a amylopyrite the size of a pigeon egg, although this amylopyrite was small, it was enough to calm Yang Junshan down.

Another three days passed like this. Yang Junshan had already dug out about nine amylopyrite in the second tunnel. Although he was still unable to dig out a second Wutu Essence Stone, his harvest was not bad.

In the past few days, Chu Chuang had actually given Yang Junshan a small flag, on it was written with the word “Chu”. It was said that in these few days, Chu Chuang and his brothers had clashed with other miners because of the fight between them over the mines, and Chu Chuang and the others had teamed up, and started to occupy some mines that were rich in resources. After inserting the “Chu” flag at the entrance of the mine, they told the other miners that Chu Chuang’s men were in charge of this mine, and if anyone tried to break in again, they would be in trouble with Chu Chuang.

Chu Chuang had already made a name for himself among the miners, with this flag, it saved Yang Junshan a lot of trouble.

On the evening of the seventh day, as usual, Yang Junshan carried a basket of ores to the gathering location of Chu Chuang’s group. After swapping to a basket of ore and preparing to leave, he was suddenly pulled by Chu Chuang into a quiet mining tunnel.

“Brother Yang, if I have a lot of soil powder, can you help me build a bridge between me and the Third Master of the Yang family?” Chu Chuang asked sincerely.

Yang Junshan was surprised: “A large amount of powdered clay? How many do you have?

Chu Chuang clenched his teeth, and said: “Give me two months, I can save up enough to buy a full car with spiritual valley s!”

“Impossible!” Yang Junshan did not believe it at all, and said: “You have accumulated enough soil powder to buy a hundred and fifty stone spiritual valley s in two months, even if you and your subordinates do not eat, drink, or cultivate during these two months, you cannot save it all!”

Chu Chuang said: “You don’t need to worry about that, since we, Old Chu, have a way to gather enough powder, as long as Brother Yang can get us a carriage full of spiritual valley, we Old Chu will definitely not let you suffer any losses.”

Yang Junshan squinted his eyes and sized Chu Chuang up, but in the end, he still shook his head and said, “Big Brother Chu, it’s not that I don’t trust you, but I believe you.

Chu Chuang’s gaze wandered, obviously he was also fighting in his heart. In the end, he seemed to have made some sort of decision, and said: “Alright! “We’re all being forced into this. Old Chu is betting his life and fortune!”

Looking at Yang Junshan’s questioning gaze, Chu Chuang said in a deep voice, “Brother Yang, we accidentally dug a secret passage at the bottom of a remote tunnel in the mines, a passage that escapes from being monitored and led outside of the mines!”

“What?” Yang Junshan immediately realized that his voice had become louder, and immediately covered his mouth as he whispered: “How is this possible, could it be that among your brothers, you are proficient in the art of formations?”

Chu Chuang laughed bitterly: What formation masters, I just happened to find them by accident. Chu Yang had already tried them out, and sent a basket of fine ore out of the cave. After that, there was no warning from the array tunnel, so after we finished working, he and I quietly carried the basket of fine ore back from the back mountain.

In addition, the formation path of the mine could detect whether or not there were any belts on the body of the miner. In addition, the formation path also had the function of providing an early warning of the mine’s excavation situation, so once someone excavated the tunnel to the ground, the manager of the mine would immediately be aware of it.

Yang Junshan looked at Chu Chuang with an unsettled expression. Chu Chuang did not know what Yang Junshan was thinking, he only looked at him nervously, and heard Yang Junshan suddenly say: “I’m afraid that won’t do, the manager of the mine is not an idiot, every time we inspect the mine we can roughly estimate the amount of ore we will collect. If you guys smuggle the ore out, you guys will definitely mine less, and as time goes on, you guys will definitely be noticed.

Chu Chuang laughed: “Firstly, with Brother Yang’s guidance, we can always find a few mines that are rich, and the amount we mine will naturally be plundered. Secondly, Brother Yang knows that I have brought my brothers to take over the field recently, and have them forcefully take over a few mines every day for mining purposes. This saves me from having to fight with the other miners every day for it.”

“So you’ve already thought about it!”

No wonder in his previous life, he was able to become the leader of the hundred miners in the Green Tree Village. But to Yang Junshan, this waeavenly great opportunity: “No, this is a huge matter, I have to personally take a look at that secret place.”

Furthermore, the array path in the mines might not necessarily be some profound array formation, and it was normal for there to be loopholes. With Yang Junshan’s current abilities, if he were to see the array disc and foundation of the array path, maybe he would be able to find a secret passage in the mines, but just like Chu Chuang who coincidentally found a loophole in the mines, his luck could only rise to the heavens.

Hearing that Yang Junshan wanted to personally look at the secret passage, Chu Chuang’s face changed, and said: “Brother Yang, there’s no need for that, after all, that mine was found by my brother and I risked our lives to find it, how about this, you give me one thing, I will not return it to you after passing through the secret passage. Doesn’t this prove that we, Old Chu, do have this secret passage anymore?”

Yang Junshan also knew that it would be difficult to personally verify the secret passage, so when he saw that Chu Chuang was opposed to it, he did not insist and said: “Alright, tomorrow you tell Chu Yang not to go to work, I will go down the mines to give you some things, then I will leave the mines midway, you will stay behind, after I go out I will agree to meet Chu Yang at a meeting place, if he can give you something, it will naturally prove that you have ways to avoid the array tunnel, what do you think?”

Chu Chuang secretly thought about Yang Junshan’s method, but did not find any loopholes, thus he nodded and said: Fine, we’ll do it you say!

On the second day of work, after Yang Junshan entered the mines, he did not immediately go find Chu Chuang. Instead, he quickly walked towards the tunnel where he was digging amylopyrite.

Ding dang! Clank!

Not good, someone had come here to mine earlier!

Yang Junshan slowed down his pace and came to the entrance of the mine he was digging, upon discovering that there were no miners mining inside, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief. But when he followed the sound and found the mine he was mining to right now, his face immediately became gloomy, the mine that was being excavated was actually another amylopyrite production mine.

How did someone notice this mine so quickly? Yang Junshan remembered that in his previous life, the discovery of the amylopyrite was a year and a half away, and Yang Junshan’s mining trip was even more so two years later!

When Yang Junshan saw the pile of slag at the bottom of the tunnel, he suddenly realized that the reason was still because of him. Anyone who saw how many slag were piled up in a single tunnel would think that the ore deposit was not bad, and would think that there must be a lot of people mining to accumulate so much slag.

Looking at the two unwavering figures at the end of the tunnel, although Yang Junshan had already dug out about 20 amylopyritnd a piece of Wutu Essence Stone, he guessed that he should have played with the majority of the amylopyrite s. Who knew if there would be any more amylopyrite left that would be dug out.

Yang Junshan turned and ran to the bottom of the other tunnel. The secret of the amylopyrite might be leaked, and it was imperative that Yang Junshan rush over and dig a few more amylopyrite out before the news got out. Currently, his requirement for spirit energy after levelling up to the fourth stage far surpassed that of cultivators of the same stage, if he did not have enough amylopyrito guarantee his training speed, then his cultivation would probably increase the distance between him and those genius cultivators.

Fortunately, after he moved the mining tunnel, Yang Junshan also moved the amylopyrite and the Wutu Essence Stone that was hidden under the slag into the slag that was dug out by the mining tunnel. Otherwise, things would have become even more troublesome.

Ding dang! Ding dang! Clank!

Yang Junshan once again crazily started mining, the sound of the hoe hitting the ground was almost comparable to the sound of the two miners beside him mining.

One, two … Yang Junshan changed the broken hoe into a new one.

Three, four … Yang Junshan clenched his teeth, threw the last Fa Yun Pill into his mouth and chewed it intulp. A thick wave of spirit energy spread out from within his stomach, following the circulation of the Wutu Spiritual Art, it flowed through his entire body.

When the fifth amylopyrite was dug out, Yang Junshan’s hoe was broken once again.

After changing it to the last hoe, they continued to mine, and finally unearthed the sixth amylopyrite. Yang Junshan was already exhausted, and the continuous, high-intensity work had almost exhausted Yang Junshan’s last bit of energy.

With no other choice, Yang Junshan could only slowly walk out of the tunnel. His walking posture was extremely similar to that of a mountain lord strolling leisurely in the mountains.

Once again, they quietly arrived at the entrance to the mine. The crisp sound of mining going on inside the mine could still be heard.

Suddenly, a voice came from the tunnel, “Old Qin, it’s been a long time. Look at what we’ve dug up. The grade of these ores is too low. Let’s go. Do you want to waste the entire day here?”

“Old Zhao, why don’t you go dig somewhere else first? I don’t believe you. With such a big pile of slag piled up here, could it be that the miner from before is also an idiot? Your elder is going to ram against this southern wall!”

“Ai, alright then. I’ll dig with you and we’ll be wasting time here today. But we’ve agreed that if we can’t dig anything, we must move to another place tomorrow …”

Yang Junshan did not continue listening to him, but turned and walked back into the mines, and continued to throw the hoe towards the ore in front of him.

“Puchi!” Another sound of something hitting the air rang out. Yang Junshan was startled, and thought to himself: Could it be such a coincidence!

In fact, it was not only a coincidence, but also a great coincidence!

A large piece of the hollow shell was pried apart. Inside, there was a cave about four feet in height, and a golden stone ball that was much larger than the previous one rolled down from the inside with a gurgling sound. Yang Junshan caught it in his hand.

The Wutu Earth Essence Stone, the second Wutu Essence Stone had been obtained!

Yang Junshan carried a basket filled with ores and walked in front of Chu Chuang. The mouth of the bamboo basket was tied up by Yang Junshan so not a single ore could fall out.

When Chu Chuang saw Yang Junshan’s bamboo basket, he said in surprise: “Brother Yang, what are you doing ….”

“Send this basket of ores out untouched, I’ll go to the agreed location and wait for Chu Yang. I’ve already marked this bamboo basket with my Yang family’s exclusive symbol. As long as you get this bamboo basket of ores, I’ll believe you!”
