Yang Ling quickly took a cold shower and began cultivating the Vajra Mingwang Technique.
After gaining 13 Experience Points, he continued practicing the Thief-Catching Saber Technique.
He had completely stopped worrying about Martial Skills and was taking it slow.
As long as he didn't fall behind on the Vajra Mingwang Technique, it was fine.
Six hours later, the sky had already darkened.
Yet the entrance to Mine Tunnel No. 1 was brightly lit.
Countless Miners held torches, waiting for Yang Ling to arrive.
"Five hundred from West Five..."
Chen Xu clicked his tongue in amazement.
Soon, Yang Ling appeared, and all the Miners turned to look at him, their eyes filled with awe.
"Are you all planning to go down the mine with me?"
Yang Ling swept his gaze over the unfamiliar faces.
"Supervisor Yang, we've thought it through. If you're not afraid of the dangers in the mine, then we're not either. Going down with you means we can get rich—we can't miss this chance!"
"Good. Enough talk. Let's go down."
Yang Ling held a torch and led the way.
This sight immediately lifted the spirits of those Miners who had still been wavering!
If the Supervisor was leading the way, what did they have to fear?
Fang Qingyang watched from afar, his expression dark.
"Steward Fang, what do we do now?"
A Steward's eyes flickered.
"At this rate, in just a few days, we won't be able to finish what Senior Brother Yang asked us to do."
As Stewards of this place, they had long understood the true potential of the Red Gold Mine.
If ten thousand Miners all went down the mine together, forget 3,500 jin—a monthly output of 7,000 jin was possible!
"Senior Brother Yang taught me one last method."
Fang Qingyang's eyes shifted.
"This method will settle the matter once and for all. From now on, no Miner will want to go down the mine."
"What method?"
That Steward asked instinctively.
Fang Qingyang glanced at him with a faint, knowing smile.
"Why ask so many questions?"
The man stiffened slightly and gave an awkward laugh.
"I spoke out of turn."

This time, Yang Ling went deeper and found a piece of Red Gold Mine to focus on mining.
Mine Tunnel No. 1 was actually very large, and even with five hundred people from West Five flooding in, it still felt spacious.
So there was no shortage of resources—everyone could find enough Red Gold Mine in a short time to keep them digging for days and nights!
"Clang clang!"
"Clang clang!"
The Crane-Mouth Hoe in Yang Ling's hand swung so fast it left Afterimages.
Chen Xu and the others were already used to this sight and were immune to it.
But the Miners who had only made up their minds to go down today stood frozen, staring blankly at Yang Ling.
Only at this moment did they truly believe that Yang Ling could dig thirteen jin of Red Gold Mine in a single day!
He simply wasn't human!
"Hurry up and dig. Since you're here, work hard to earn money."
Chen Guoqing shouted at them.
"Right, right, right!"
"Start digging!"
Soon, they got into the swing of things.
Hundreds of miners, each one diligently digging.
A miner who looked just over twenty kept digging until he gradually slipped into a less crowded side tunnel.
Then he pressed deeper.
Only when he was sure no one was behind him did he break into a slow jog.
He ran to a spot he'd marked long ago, then carefully took a wooden box from his waist.
Opening it revealed a mineral glowing with fluorescence.
"Red Gold Ore Essence."
The miner muttered to himself, a flash of greed in his eyes, but in the end he set it down on the ground.
Having done that, he retraced his steps.
Not long after he left, fist-sized black mantises came hopping over.
One, two, three...
They gathered around the Red Gold Ore Essence, seemingly gnawing and feeding.
The miner moved cautiously, watching the surroundings of Xi Zhou. When he was about to return to his original spot, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother, why'd you run in there? Is there a big vein inside?"
Chen Xu asked out of curiosity.
Seeing it was Chen Xu, the man's heart tightened—this guy was Supervisor Yang's close aide!
He gave an awkward smile. "I went in to look around, but I didn't find any good Red Gold Ore."
Chen Xu didn't think much of it. He nodded and went back to digging.
Yang Ling had been mining for half a day when a crisp, pleasant sound rang in his ears.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, you have leveled up. Received 1 Free Attribute Point!"
"Leveled up—that fast? All told, I've only been down in the mine about two and a half days?"
Yang Ling felt a flicker of joy.
The experience from Red Gold Ore really wasn't bad!
He immediately added the attribute point to Spirit.
A warm current grew inside him, eventually converging at his brow.
Yang Ling felt his perception sharpen a little more, and his thoughts grew clearer.
He opened his Attribute Panel to take a look:

"Level 16. Just four more levels, and maybe I'll get the next Random Treasure Chest."
Yang Ling looked forward to it in secret.
At this rate, another ten days or half a month and he'd be around Level 20.
He opened the Divine Realm Rank List:
