Yang Yuan Stone Vein, New Rewards!

Ironwood Manor was mostly forest, and quite a primitive one at that.

The Lei Family focused all their attention on the ironwood, clearly not paying much mind to the forest behind it formed by ordinary trees.

Lin Yi walked deeper into the forest, releasing his spiritual power to carefully scan his surroundings.

Lin Yi remembered that the area where the Yang Yuan Stone ore vein was located was guarded by two Black Iron Demonic Leopards.

Therefore, as long as he found the location of the Black Iron Demonic Leopards, it wouldn't be far to the Yang Yuan Stone ore vein.

Lin Yi carefully scanned for nearly an hour when he suddenly noticed that the woodland ahead seemed to be reaching its end, and faintly, he smelled a beastly odor.

Found it!

Lin Yi's thoughts stirred, and he became even more cautious, pushing his spiritual power to its limit. Soon, he discovered that at the end of the woodland was a slightly sunken valley.

And deep within that valley lay two Black Iron Demonic Leopards, each comparable to a Heaven Origin Realm expert!

Since he had found the Black Iron Demonic Leopards, it meant the Yang Yuan Stone ore vein was in this area!

Lin Yi crouched down and picked up a handful of soil, clearly sensing the Yang Gang Qi contained within it!

Immediately, Lin Yi placed his right palm on the ground, slowly shifting its position.

Suddenly, Lin Yi felt a peculiar fluctuation from his palm – the Stone Talisman had reacted.

Lin Yi quietly sensed the fluctuation as his body and hand continued to move. After a while, he finally stopped in a sunken area.

Looking at this slightly sunken spot, Lin Yi punched down. As dirt flew, a pit about a foot in size was revealed.

This pit had clearly existed for a long time, merely buried by the surface soil.

As the pit appeared, the Stone Talisman's fluctuation intensified.

Lin Yi immediately reached his arm into the pit, digging deeper.

After nearly fifteen minutes, the hand Lin Yi had extended into the pit suddenly grasped a stone emitting a faint warmth.

And the moment this stone entered his hand, the fluctuation from the Stone Talisman in Lin Yi's palm finally ceased.

"Finally found it..."

Sensing the change in the Stone Talisman, Lin Yi's heart rejoiced. He quickly withdrew his arm, and a pale red stone appeared before his eyes – it was Yang Yuan Stone!

"It's getting late. I'll bring Grandpa and Father here tomorrow to excavate the ore vein!"

Lin Yi put the Yang Yuan Stone he had personally dug up into his Universe Ring, dusted off his hands, and then turned back towards the manor.

The next day, when Lin Zhentian learned that Lin Yi might have discovered a Yang Yuan Stone ore vein, his face flushed with excitement. "Yi'er, you're saying you found a Yang Yuan Stone ore vein?"

Lin Xiao was also greatly shaken by the news, his heart stirred.

A Yang Yuan Stone ore vein might not be much to major powers, but to the Lin Family, it was incredibly important!

Lin Yi nodded. "I sensed it carefully; that area has dense Yang Gang Qi. Moreover, I just dug randomly in the ground for a while and unearthed a piece of Yang Yuan Stone."

As he spoke, Lin Yi reached into his robes and took out the piece of Yang Yuan Stone he had dug up last evening, still covered in dirt.

"It really is Yang Yuan Stone!"

Lin Zhentian and Lin Xiao looked at the Yang Yuan Stone in Lin Yi's hand, their faces beaming with joy.

Lin Yi smiled. "Grandpa, Father, you should know that this kind of Yang Yuan Stone rarely appears alone. And the Yang Gang Qi in that area is very dense, so there must be a Yang Yuan Stone ore vein there."

"Quick, take me to see that place!"

Lin Zhentian's breathing quickened as he urged Lin Yi.

Lin Yi nodded slightly, then reminded them, "However, there are two adult Black Iron Demonic Leopards there."

"Oh?"

Hearing that there were two Black Iron Demonic Leopards, Lin Zhentian's expression changed. Then, gritting his teeth, he said, "If there really is a Yang Yuan Stone ore vein there, let alone two Black Iron Demonic Leopards, even if there were more, we would find a way to eliminate them!"

Hearing this, Lin Yi nodded again, turned, and led the way for Lin Zhentian and Lin Xiao. The three of them, carrying shovels, swiftly dashed towards the depths of the manor.

With their rapid pace, they reached the spot where Lin Yi had found the Yang Yuan Stone in just over ten minutes.

"As expected, Black Iron Demonic Leopards," Lin Zhentian said, standing above the valley entrance and looking down at the two Black Iron Demonic Leopards at the bottom, nodding with a solemn expression.

These two Black Iron Demonic Leopards were both adults, comparable to human Heaven Origin Realm experts, and dealing with them would be somewhat troublesome.

However, once the Yang Yuan Stone ore vein was confirmed, even if it was troublesome, they had to deal with them.

Next, the three of them used shovels, starting from the pit Lin Yi had dug, to gradually excavate downwards and expand the digging area.

After digging continuously for over half an hour, the pit, which was originally only about a foot deep, had become a large pit tens of feet in area.

"Clink!"

When Lin Yi struck the ground again with his shovel, a crisp sound echoed through the quiet woods.

Hearing the sound, Lin Zhentian and Lin Xiao's bodies trembled, and they instantly turned their gaze to Lin Yi's shovel.

There, a faint red luster could be seen, faintly appearing and disappearing beneath the soil.

Moments later, an excited Lin Zhentian threw away his shovel, waved his large sleeve, and a gust of wind surged, flipping over all the soil.

As the soil receded, a layer of red light immediately caught the eyes of the three. It was a pale red rock layer.

The rock layer was somewhat transparent. Looking through it, they could vaguely see pale red crystals embedded deep within the rock layer, sparkling like gems.

"It's really... a Yang Yuan Stone vein!"

Lin Xiao stared blankly at the red rock layer, his body trembling with excitement.

"Heaven bless our Lin Family!"

Lin Zhentian looked up, tears of excitement streaming down his face. With this mine, their Lin Family would experience explosive growth!

By then, let alone Qingyang Town, even Yan City, and the entire Tiandu Prefecture, their Lin Family would be quite famous.

Lin Yi also showed a faint smile as he watched the excited father and son.

At this moment, the system's childish voice sounded again in Lin Yi's mind.

[Ding! Host has discovered a Yang Yuan Stone vein and made a significant contribution to the family. Reward: One Spirit Nourishing Pill! Note: Consuming this pill can greatly enhance mental power!]

A good reward!

It had been almost five months since Lin Yi started cultivating his mental power, and he hadn't used any pills for it yet.

He had used up the Spirit Medicine he bought in Yan City last time and was planning to go to Yan City again in a few days to buy more. He would also choose some Spirit Medicine that could enhance mental power.

Now, he could try this Spirit Nourishing Pill first and see how much his mental power could be boosted.

"Let's go, we should head back first," Lin Zhentian said to Lin Xiao and Lin Yi after his excitement subsided.

After returning to the manor, Lin Zhentian and Lin Xiao began to mobilize the family's forces to completely seal off Ironwood Manor.

Lin Yi, now free, found a quiet room in Ironwood Manor, locked the door, sat down cross-legged, took out the Spirit Nourishing Pill from his Universe Ring, and put it into his mouth
