Wasn't This a Heaven-Sent Fortune?

Wang Tieniu's Stone-Pointing Art had already reached its pinnacle.

But Tieniu is a grateful person...

Tieniu was initially chosen by Senior Brother Xinghe from among the miner disciples. Subsequently, with Senior Brother Xinghe's intervention, the treatment of miner disciples throughout the Spirit Mine Mountain Range also improved significantly.

Nowadays, the treatment of the Vast Heaven Sect miners and disciples in Tianyi Spirit Mine and other major mining areas is completely different from that of miners and disciples from other sects.

Even if all parties try their best to improve the treatment of miners' apprentices, their own conditions are what they are, so no amount of improvement will help...

Tieniu rose from the lowest-ranking miner disciple to his current position. Although he still spends his days at Tieniu Tianyi Spirit Mine, the entire Vast Heaven Sect and even the whole world know that Wang Tieniu's identity as the Future First Elder is definitely secure.

The reason why Tieniu wasn't made an elder right now was mainly because they were waiting for Chu Xinghe to personally promote him.

Wang Tieniu, who is grateful for kindness, never forgets that everything he has today was given to him by his Senior Brother Xinghe.

Therefore, Tieniu dreams every day about how to bring more resources to the sect, so as not to disappoint Senior Brother Xinghe's high expectations.

Despite his seemingly simple and honest appearance, Tieniu's talent in spirit stones is truly unparalleled.

Tieniu learned Treasure Seeking Art from Feng Yuzheng... and later created his own Mine Seeking Art...

Tieniu's Mine Seeking Art have led the sect to several large mines in a short period of time.

But Tieniu did not stop because of this small achievement; instead, he worked even harder to study Mine Seeking Art.

Well... thanks to Tieniu's research, Tieniu recently discovered several unclaimed mineral veins. The spirit stones produced by these veins are comparable to those of the Tianyi Spirit Mine, and in some cases even surpass them.

So Tieniu immediately shared this good news with Senior Brother Xinghe, wanting him to share in the joy...

Tieniu was happy or not, Chu Xinghe didn't know...

Chu Xinghe only knew it was almost time...

Tieniu you keep searching for mineral veins like that, you're really going to send your Senior Brother Xinghe to his doom...

What? Mine Seeking Art...? This can be combined at will?!

Is Feng Yuzheng born with the ability to randomly combine with others to generate new skills?

I can accept it if you, Feng Yuzheng, team up with Ouyang Ming to produce Flute of Space and Time...

But now, you and Wang Tieniu together can produce such a strange effect?

Does this Mine Seeking Art have any shame?

These past few days, I, Chu Xinghe, may have appeared to be lying low, but in reality, I've been thinking every day about how to make the sect suffer some losses.

If you want to get rich, there are only two paths... increase income and reduce expenditure!

If you want to be poor, there are only two paths... Increase spending and reduce expenditures!

I used to put all my effort into opening up channels, but it turns out that this method of opening up channels is not good, because opening up channels means letting resources flow out, but as they flow, you never know what strange things might happen.

Since increasing water usage isn't working, let's try a different approach and focus on energy conservation.

Over the past few days, Chu Xinghe has also carefully examined the sect's most profitable projects.

Of all the projects, the one that generates the most direct profits is definitely the mining industry.

Go and see how arrogant Qin Xiangqian has become.

Although Qin Xiangqian is still the vice president of Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce, everyone knows that Qin Xiangqian position as the Future president is a foregone conclusion and no one can change it.

Qin Xiangqian deserves much credit for ensuring that resources are supplied to all palaces of the Vast Heaven Sect without limit.

Of course, Qin Xiangqian was arrogant, but he never dared to claim credit for his achievements.

Qin Xiangqian said... isn't this all thanks to Senior Brother Xinghe?

I, Qin Xiangqian, am not particularly outstanding in ability; I am simply lucky to have met the right Senior Brother Xinghe at the right time.

It was under Senior Brother Xinghe's guidance that I was able to reach this level, but no matter how high I reach, Senior Brother Xinghe will always be someone I need to look up to.

Look... that's what you call professional!

Chu Xinghe had originally considered giving Qin Xiangqian a less demanding job, so that he wouldn't have the opportunity to continue betraying him.

But after much thought, Chu Xinghe realized that this was not appropriate...

Because you have no idea whether Qin Xiangqian can come up with a completely new backstab technique for the new job you give him.

Having confirmed that the Spirit Mine Mountain Range were the most lucrative source, Chu Xinghe immediately sent someone to notify Tieniu to return to the sect.

Upon receiving the news, Tieniu immediately dropped everything he was doing and used the Flute of Space and Time to return to his sect.

"Senior Brother Xinghe... I, Tieniu, have missed you so much!"

With teary eyes, Wang Tieniu rushed to Senior Brother Xinghe and gave him a big bear hug.

"Tieniu... you've been doing a good job lately..." Chu Xinghe said with a smile.

Upon hearing Senior Brother Xinghe's words, Tieniu excitedly replied, "Senior Brother Xinghe Tieniu, you're nothing... My Mine Seeking Art are only at the very beginning. I still have a lot of room for improvement... These few small mines I've recently discovered are nothing at all."

"To be honest, Senior Brother Xinghe, I've recently found clues to a few more large mines. Give me, Tieniu, some more time, and I'll excavate ten or eight more large mines for you, Senior Brother Xinghe!"

Chu Xinghe: "..."

Hearing Tieniu's disheartening words about wanting to excavate ten or eight more large mines at the drop of a hat, Chu Xinghe burst into tears.

Tieniu Niu... please spare Senior Brother Xinghe's life...

Senior Brother Xinghe survived being tormented by the Demon Race in the Demon Star Continent, but he's almost been killed by you guys since he came back...

If you keep letting Tieniu do this, our Vast Heaven Sect will really run out of spirit stones.

Looking at Tieniu, who was full of energy, Chu Xinghe spoke up.

"Tieniu... Senior Brother Xinghe, I have to say a few words to you."

"As the world's number one master of stone-making and mineral exploration... Tieniu, your abilities have certainly improved, but your vision is still somewhat too narrow!"

Upon hearing Senior Brother Xinghe speak, Tieniu immediately stood at attention and listened... When he realized that his perspective had been too narrow, Tieniu quickly nodded.

Senior Brother Xinghe is right. I, Wang Tieniu, am nothing more than the world's number one master of stone-making and mineral exploration... Besides these two things, I'm really nothing. As for vision and such... I, Tieniu, am indeed not very good.

"Tieniu, Senior Brother Xinghe has a suggestion for you: temporarily set aside that little patch of land in the Spirit Mine Mountain Range and turn your attention to the Demon Star Continent!"

Wang Tieniu: "???"

Upon hearing Senior Brother Xinghe's suggestion, Wang Tieniu's eyes lit up.

Although from the very first moment the two continents merged, Wang Tieniu heard everyone around him say that the Demon Star Continent was barren and resource-scarce...

But can what those people say be the same as what Senior Brother Xinghe said?

How did those people know that Demon Star Continent was barren?

Isn't it all based on various legends?

But Senior Brother Xinghe knows Demon Star Continent best... If Senior Brother Xinghe says Demon Star Continent has resources, then it definitely has resources...

Therefore, regarding Senior Brother Xinghe's suggestion to focus on the Demon Star Continent...

Tieniu agreed with Senior Brother Xinghe!

No matter how abundant the spirit stone resources are in the Spirit Mine Mountain Range, the Spirit Mine Mountain Range itself is only so big... it will eventually run out...

But how vast is Demon Star Continent! How many mineral veins does it hide... Just as Senior Brother Xinghe Wang Tieniu, my vision is still too narrow.

I should set my sights on the Demon Star Continent.

Chu Xinghe had no idea what Tieniu was thinking... All Chu Xinghe knew was that he had no idea how he could possibly lose this round at Jieyuan!

The sect's Mine Seeking Art with Tieniu allows them to discover resources with lightning speed, right?

I'm sending Tieniu to the Demon Star Continent... Everyone else might not know what's going on the Demon Star Continent, but do you think I, Chu Xinghe, don't know?

Is the question of whether Demon Star Continent is barren or not?

They were so poor that even a rat would come out wiping away tears.

Look at how the Wolf King treated those few spirit stones like priceless treasures back then. It wasn't a matter of whether he had never seen the world or not; he was truly desperate for money!

Tieniu's Mine Seeking Art are unbeatable, right...?

So, even if you're unbeatable in your Mine Seeking Art when you go to the Demon Star Continent, you can't just Creating Something from Nothing for me.

The Demon Star Continent has practically no resources. Tell me, what can you possibly find?

Furthermore, just to be on the safe side, I, Chu Xinghe, will take you directly to Divine Fox Ridge. I may not be familiar with other areas... but don't I know Divine Fox Ridge Chu Xinghe?

Although Divine Fox Ridge is said to have decent resources, that's only in the context of the Demon Race... In our Blazing Sun Continent, it's practically a wasteland!

Back in Divine Fox Ridge, Chu Xinghe had carefully inquired with Chief Hu Shang about whether there were any hidden mineral veins in Divine Fox Ridge.

Hu Shang replied to Prophet Xinghe:... What the hell are you talking to me about...?

This Divine Fox Ridge is our ancestral land. We've dug through it countless times... If this place could even produce spirit stones, our Fox Clan would have taken off long ago...

There are absolutely no resources to be found in Divine Fox Ridge!

Even the first great prophet said that Divine Fox Ridge is not suitable for our Fox Clan, nor does it contain any resources that can make our Demon Race stronger.

Not only did Hu Shang Chu Xinghe question every elder of the Fox Clan, but he also personally consulted the Fox Clan's ancient texts.

However, there is no doubt that the Fox Clan and various ancient records clearly state that there are no spirit stones in Divine Fox Ridge at all!

Divine Fox Ridge is the ancestral home of the Fox Clan... The Fox Clan has lived there for generations, and they all say there are no spirit stones there...

Even if you, Tieniu, have amazing Mine Seeking Art, tell me, how are you supposed to find spirit stones in a place where there are absolutely no spirit stones?

We don't know if other areas of the Demon Star Continent are barren or not... but tell me, how could I possibly lose to Divine Fox Ridge?

Tell Qin Xiangqian... don't let him cause trouble in the Spirit Mine Mountain Range. Senior Brother Xinghe has arranged a completely new job for him...

The First Commander of the Vast Heaven Sect stationed at Divine Fox Ridge ordered Qin Xiangqian to lead his most capable subordinates, along with Wang Tieniu and me, to Divine Fox Ridge...

The news quickly reached the Spirit Mine Mountain Range. When Qin Xiangqian received the message from Senior Brother Xinghe, tears welled up in his eyes!

Look! I really am Senior Brother Xinghe's number one confidant in the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce!

Senior Brother Xinghe immediately thought of me, Qin Xiangqian!

Unbelievable wealth is coming!
