This was an Immortal Domain Fragment. Swinging a pickaxe consumed considerable strength, especially when mining immortal domain metal. According to the information I had obtained through soul-searching earlier, these miners had a hard life indeed. Supposedly, someone in the middle stage of the celestial being realm could injure themselves from the recoil of a single swing.

I flew along the mining canyon amid the faint rustling of miners at work. Each person was generally assigned a separate mining tunnel, and few moved between them. The ore content was fairly high; the main shortage was manual labor.
There were many types of concentrated ore being extracted, but the cost of smelting was probably the biggest concern.
Following the bright point representing Fu Changling on the Compass, I drew ever closer to the canyon entrance.
