The President Was Going to Give Away a Mine

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, watching the troublemaker run off, somewhat at a loss for what to do.

The Spirit Crystal Vein Mine hasn't even been mined yet, and some unruly people have already started to rebel. You can only imagine what kind of scene it will be when the Spirit Crystal Vein Mine is finally mined.

Thinking of this, the five of them couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh, walking back with heavy hearts.

Outside the Bookstore, the onlookers, including the practitioners and a group of important figures, also looked astonished.

Spirit Crystal are essential for cultivators. In daily life, Spirit Crystal can be used as currency; in cultivation, Spirit Crystal can be used to enhance one's cultivation level.

The importance of Spirit Crystal is no different from that of spiritual energy in Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, and may even be more important.

The only source of Spirit Crystal so far is the Spirit Crystal Vein Mine, making the Spirit Crystal Vein Mine the most important resource point on the entire Azure Dragon Continent.

The rise and fall of a nation, the prosperity and decline of a family, and the rise and fall of a sect all depend on the Spirit Crystal Vein Mine.

Having Spirit Crystal Vein Mine is equivalent to having money. With money, obtaining high-level spiritual artifacts, advanced cultivation techniques and martial arts, and nurturing genius disciples becomes extremely easy.

Although this is a world where cultivation is paramount, both money and strength should be given equal importance, as this is the key to the development of a nation or sect.

Nowadays, most of the Spirit Crystal Vein Mine on the Azure Dragon Continent have been mined, and the majority are controlled by the nation, large families, and major sects, with only a small portion held by smaller families and sects. Newly discovered Spirit Crystal Vein Mine like these are now extremely rare.

Gongsun Qiong had just unearthed a Spirit Crystal Vein Mine, which naturally astonished everyone present.

Some people have even started to have ulterior motives.

"I heard that President Gongsun is currently in the State of Qi State?" a high-ranking official from the border of the Qin State asked in a deep voice.

Sitting next to him was an elderly man at the Peak Ninth Stage Spirit Venerable, who nodded and said, "That's right, in the Qi State, near the Death Desert, in Mangcang Town."

"Can we find that place?" the important man asked.

The old man looked up at the projection, hesitated for a moment, and said, "It will take some time."

That place was too remote, and it was a small town. The Qi State was mostly mountainous, and apart from the thirty-two cities of the Nine Provinces, people outside of Qi State had very little knowledge of those small towns and villages.

Even people from the Qi State probably couldn't find it.

Upon hearing this, the important figure hesitated for a moment, then said, "If that's the case, then let's drop it."

The old man nodded but did not continue the conversation.

The important figure stared intently at the projection, his eyes gleaming.

Within the projection, after a period of excavation, the Spirit Crystal Vein Mine finally appeared.

"Wow! It really is there! Sister Gongsun, you're amazing!" Azi exclaimed in amazement as she looked at the glistening expanse ten meters below.

Even the usually expressionless Second Mother was filled with shock when she saw the Spirit Crystal Vein Mine.

The ten troublemakers and Ergouzi, who had just run down, were completely dumbfounded.

They grew up here and never imagined that one day their hometown would be the site of a Spirit Crystal Vein Mine!

Spirit Crystal Vein Mine! Why is Mangcang Town poor? It's because of its poor geographical conditions, blocked roads, and lack of any special products. They can only rely on farming and hunting to make a living.

If everyone were ordinary people, that would be fine, but that's not the case! There are tens of thousands of residents in Mangcang Town, and almost half of them are cultivators who have been able to cultivate since childhood.

Who wouldn't want to cultivate and live longer? But because they are poor, they can't afford elixirs, cultivation techniques, or martial arts skills, and they don't have Spirit Crystal to cultivate every day.

They have no other way but to rely on the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy.

If people have no hope, they might resign themselves to their fate and spend their lives aimlessly in Mangcang Town; but if they are given hope, their path to cultivation is cut off, which makes them very distressed.

Therefore, the residents of Mangcang Town began to try to leave Mangcang Town and the mountains to pursue their dreams of spiritual cultivation in better places.

However, the result was not ideal; none of the residents who left ever returned.

This terrified the residents of Mangcang Town. Having lived in the mountains for generations, they had developed a natural aversion to the outside world; more importantly, they had families to care for.

Over time, few people left Mangcang Town; everyone seemed to have resigned themselves to their fate.

Until one day, outsiders appeared in Mangcang Town. They wore gorgeous clothes engraved with inscriptions, carried spiritual weapons, and could use various powerful martial arts techniques.

This made the residents of Mangcang Town envious, and their desires grew once again. They used every means to kill the outsiders and Snatch all the good things they had.

Once they possessed those magical artifacts, cultivation techniques, and martial arts skills, their desires became uncontrollable.

But outsiders don't come every day! There are so many residents in Mangcang Town who can cultivate; how can those few resources be enough to go around?

So these originally honest residents began to fight amongst themselves for those good things.

After several years of development, Mangcang Town is no longer the Mangcang Town it once was. The honest and simple residents have turned into troublemakers; two families that used to have a good relationship now hate each other and wish they could kill each other. Mangcang Town has become more and more indifferent and cold-blooded.

In the end, it turned out to be what it is now.

Ultimately, it's because of poverty. Heaven allowed them to cultivate themselves, but didn't give them the path to do so, leading them to take unorthodox paths.

If this Spirit Crystal Vein Mine had been developed and mined back then, perhaps Mangcang Town wouldn't be what it is today.

Therefore, for the residents of Mangcang Town, the discovery of a Spirit Crystal Vein Mine in front of their homes felt like a rebirth bestowed upon them by the heavens, and they were all so excited that their faces turned red.

However, after blushing, they realized that the Spirit Crystal Vein Mine was not discovered by the residents of Mangcang Town, but by this President Gongsun.

In a sense, this Spirit Crystal Vein Mine belongs to this President Gongsun.

In terms of strength, it still belongs to President Gongsun...

It has nothing to do with them!

Thinking of this, the eleven troublemakers looked at each other and fell silent.

"But I helped with the digging, President Gongsun should give me some reward, right?" everyone thought to themselves.

Upon hearing Azi's praise, Gongsun Qiong smiled and said, "It's nothing, just a unique talent. This Spirit Crystal Vein Mine isn't large; it can only produce about ten million Spirit Crystal a year. Although it's small, it's enough for the daily cultivation needs of the residents of Mangcang Town."

The eleven unruly commoners who had been standing obediently not far away were stunned when they heard Gongsun Qiong's words.

She actually wants to give this Spirit Crystal Vein Mine to the residents of Mangcang Town!
